- Aside from the hardcore film buffs, not many people in my personal circle have heard about Larisa Shepitko’s THE ASCENT (1977) 📽️ despite being rated 44th overall in Letterboxd’s Official Top 250 Narrative Feature Films. 1/5

- At the time of its release it was touted a masterpiece and won the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival, making Shepitko the second female director to ever win the award. 3/5
