One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich (1970)
Moving historically accurate account of Soviet Gulag
4 October 1999 - 16 out of 17 users found this review helpful.
This film portrays one day in the life of one prisoner of the Soviet Gulag. It wasn't a particularly special day. The sense of hopelessness shown in Shukov's day is very moving. The book won the Nobel Prize for literature and the film is loyal to the book. I have been looking for a copy of this film for my own personal collection for years, and will continue to do so.
