One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich (Part 6 of 10)

Caspar Wrede's profoundly stark and bleak yet rarely seen adaptation of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's classic novel.

Released in 1970, the film faithfully presents a single day in the life of Ivan Denisovich - superbly portrayed by Tom Courtenay - who is serving a ten year prison sentence in one of Soviet Russia's infamous Siberian gulags.

How can a man who's warm understand a man who's cold?

Everything about this film is gripping. Because it really happened. I've read all of Solzhenitsyn's books. He was a lot smarter than anyone Harvard ever produced. Solzhenitsyn is Ivan Denisovich. He wrote this book from memory when he got out of the gulag. He had that good of a memory. This is probably the most important movie on YouTube.

Эти зеки делают обратно изнурительной работы. Кирпичи и motar очень тяжело, и они работают в течение всего дня, в течение шести дней в неделю. Это составляет 72 часов в неделю. Они едят помои не пригодна для потребления человеком. Представьте себе, что есть вареную траву и каши. Сталин был монстром для этого тем товарищам.
