The story of two doomed Soviet partisans and their forced journey deep into occupied territory after a brief diversion to replenish supplies, The Ascent is configured as a loose retelling of the crucifixion, witness to the suffering and sacrifice of ordinary people during wartime hostilities. The film has an unforgettable impact and transcendent emotional power. (Independent Cinema Office)

A very economically shot intimate war drama about a pair of soldiers who fall into captivity while carrying out their mission and face cruel treatment and a very real threat of execution. The Ascent is not a film that indulges in flashy combat scenes and showcases a multitude of period combat techniques. The director focuses on the psyche of her characters and the film is a psychological study of human nature in a tense situation. Courage and self-sacrifice can be turned into a deceitful trade with one's conscience under pressure from circumstances. The depressive film is also underscored by gloomy music, black-and-white material, and cinematography that captures a desolate icy plain whipped by the wind. Thanks to this film, Larisa Šepiťko was considered the best Soviet filmmaker of her era. Overall impression: 85%.

A Soviet film that manages to captivate you right from the first few seconds, where you realize that this black and white is indeed specific, that it's somehow grayer, and that everything you're watching is specially stylized to have a rubbed-out effect. The director can make an impact with a scene but also bore, which is an unintended contrast.
