What critics compared In the Fog to
The titular fog that creeps in might seem like a too-on-the-nose metaphor for the ambiguities of war for some, but it also brings with it a deep evocation of well-known Russian pics about WWII, from Elem Klimov’s “Come and See,” the greatest film on the subject of the war in Belorussia, to Alexei German’s “The Last Train.”
In The Fog is standing on the shoulders of giants like Mikhail Kalatozov’s The Cranes are Flying , Andrei Tarkovksy’s Ivan’s Childhood and - especially - Elem Klimov’s savagely beautiful 1985 epic Come and See , which addressed the Nazi occupation of Belarus directly.
