Summary note

"Filmed in 1966 and 1967, but kept from release for twenty years, The Commissar is unquestionably one of the most import and and compelling films of the Soviet era. Based on a short story by Vasily Grossman...This book is the first companion to the film. It recounts the film's plot and turbulent production history, and it also offers a close analysis of the artistic vision of its director, Aleksandr Askoldov ..."--Back cover.
