What critics compared The Burmese Harp to
The journey of a wide-eyed innocent across a fallen landscape is common territory for the war film, but like Kon Ichikawa's The Burmese Harp (1956) and even Andrei Tarkovsky's Ivan's Childhood (1962) Come and See enlivens and enriches the form (one of the dominants of Soviet cinema) through the iconoclasm and intensity of many of its images.
