[ColonelCassad] How many people do you expect to see in the cinema at 10am on a Sunday? And if we add to this the fact that the film is an uncompromising, two-hour documentary written by a war chronicler? At the premiere screening of “At the Edge of the Abyss” by Maxim Fadeev and Sergei Belous, the hall was not just “filled”. People were sitting in the aisle, on the steps. Several years of work on terabytes of material filmed on the battlefield have borne fruit - before us is the most honest war film, a living monument to fallen heroes and a real model for any documentarian for years to come.
