Review: Decent Film Overall - A lot of other lackluster reviews here, but I thought it was a decent offering overall. There are some plot issues of course, and some of those have to do with what seems like cut content. There's also the slightly confusing introduction of a new character the last hour of the film that is treated as if the guy was there the whole film, but after watching this several times, I honestly can't tell. The film can get quite emotional. Some of this adds to some rather illogical areas within the film where the characters make decisions or draw conclusions that make zero sense. The end is like this as well. It's about as bizarre an ending as Das Boot had. In spite of all this though, the film is as likely to be the best view one is going to get of this conflict from a German perspective. There are already a few Russian ones. I do feel a little sorry for Thomas Kretschmann. The poor guy has spent his entire film career playing Nazis if you think about it! Review: THIS is the Stalingrad movie to watch! - I think this is one of the best WWII movies made as it was done so authentically & gave the gripping account of these men and what they went through, and why it was such an awful and one of the worst battles ever. Definitely an anti-war film from German & Russian perspective. I preferred choosing the German language as it was filmed, but English subtitles so I could follow & understand. Outstanding directing by Joseph Vilsmaier. I loved Thomas Kretschmann in this, he was so fitting as the young newly promoted lieutenant, excellent performance, as well as his fellow actors in this. Interesting how he also starred in the 2013 Russian version 20 years later, which was very different, 3D. I would recommend watching the 1993 version first, as it was so well done, yet difficult to watch as it was so real & shows us how horrendous war can be. My 2 sons watched this in middle school WWII history class, and 10+ years later, they still recall this movie when referring to the war, battles, etc. as it made such an impact on them. Definitely recommend! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009XTF8NI | | Actors | Dana V vrov, Dana Vávrová, Dominique Horwitz, Jochen Nickel, Thomas Kretschmann | | Aspect Ratio | 1.85:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #78,753 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #12,383 in Drama DVDs | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (4,076) | | Director | Joseph Vilsmaier | | Dubbed: | English | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | HEN4145DVD | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Color, Dubbed, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Producers | Günter Rohrbach, Hanno Huth, Joseph Vilsmaier | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.72 ounces | | Release date | January 8, 2013 | | Studio | Henstooth Video | | Subtitles: | English | ## Product Details - **Format:** Color, Dubbed, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen - **Language:** English - **Manufacturer:** Henstooth Video - **Number Of Discs:** 1 ## Images ![Stalingrad - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91H2BNUMWjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent Film Overall *by C***N on August 18, 2023* A lot of other lackluster reviews here, but I thought it was a decent offering overall.

Definitely recommend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's A Russian Movie *by J***R on June 11, 2014* I had to buy the Blu-ray disc so I could watch this again. The digital versions (my preferred way of buying) is dubbed in English which would be like watching Das Boot in English (which I have done and it is horrible) or Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in anything but Mandarin. We need to keep in mind this is a Russian movie made by Russians. They have a very different view of the war than the rest of us. they lost more people than any other single nation and even call it the Great Patriotic War. Is this a great movie about the whole battle for Stalingrad? No. First of all, no single movie could cover the enormity of that battle. In the same way that no movie can adequately cover D-Day or Market Garden. These events covered far too much time and distance and involved thousands upon thousands of men. All any one movie can do is pick the part it wants to show and go from there. Das Boot, a five star war movie if there ever was one, is about one submarine, not the whole battle for the Atlantic. Now, did I find this movie overall to be particularly realistic? That depends. I found the fighting scenes to be very well done. Lack of supply lines of course lead to equipment shortages and the bombed out city was very well portrayed. And, as many have suggested reading books on the subject, you will find that much of the battle was indeed house to house and building to building sometimes with Germans controlling one floor and the Russians another floor of the same building. Urban warfare is not so simple as some reviews have suggested. So the "war" part of this movie, in my view, is excellent. Other reviewers have noted how Katya is a stand in for Mother Russia and this symbolism is heavy handed. I am not so sure. While I found the love story between Katya and Sissy (Sergey) to be a bit much, I think men in that situation, fighting a battle of their nation's leader's egos writ large, are going to look for anything they can feel good about fighting for. Would any man be inclined to fight for a country whose leaders are more willing to kill him than the enemy he faces? There will be some true believers, of course, but like most wars, it involves regular people thrown into horrible circumstances. I think this movie did an excellent job showing the difference between Russian soldiers and German or American or British soldiers. The Germans, Americans and British all had hope of going home. The Russians had two choices, die in battle or be killed by their own officers. they knew their job was to die and take as many Germans as possible with them. They knew they were not going home. They had no hope. But by adopting Katya, they at least felt they gave their own deaths some meaning. But after a second viewing, I find the German Captain Kahn's story to be the most compelling. He has been turned into a monster and hates himself. By clinging to Masha he is desperately trying to cling to his humanity that so many have lost in the war and this battle in particular. His personal battle is just as lost as Stalingrad, he just can't see it. I find the reviews dismissing this as just propaganda problematic at best. At least some have acknowledged that Hollywood churned out its fair share of propaganda. I can name at least a half-dozen John Wayne movies alone that were little more than flag waving propaganda. And even more modern movies like Flags of Our Fathers, while in my view excellent, certainly play as propaganda. Why should the Russians not be proud of beating back Germany? And, no, it was not just the weather that defeated Germany. That would suggest that if Russia had offered no resistance at all that Germany would have retreated at the first snowfall. So if you are looking for a movie that covers all of Stalingrad, then I must agree with other reviews that this is not what you are looking for. If you want to see a movie about trying to maintain ones humanity in the face of total barbarism, this is pretty well done. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/5483029-stalingrad](https://www.desertcart.be/products/5483029-stalingrad) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
