About The Hot Snow
In November, 1942, near the Volga, Stanlingrad is under siege of Commander Friederich Paulus and his 330,000 men. The Russian high command unleashes an operation to protect the Mishkova River to avoid that about four hundred tanks join Paulus' army. The Soviet artillery soldiers protect their position with their lives in a bloodshed with few survivors.
Directed by Gavriil Egiazarov, The Hot Snow leans on a strong ensemble — Georgi Zhzhyonov, Anatoliy Kuznetsov, Vadim Spiridonov — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about war titles of 1972.
