Dezertir is a gritty portrayal of war and personal struggle set against the backdrop of Afghanistan in 1986. It follows the journey of officer Igor Skvortsov, aka 'Skif', who, right after his wedding, is thrust into the chaotic landscape of conflict. The film's atmosphere is dense with tension, and the pacing reflects the unpredictability of war, often leaving viewers on edge. The performances, particularly that of the lead, carry a raw intensity that feels quite authentic. What stands out is how it interweaves themes of duty, love, and survival, alongside practical effects that lend a visceral edge to the action scenes. The story, inspired by Alexander Zvyagintsev's novel 'Russian Rambo', certainly adds a layer of depth that might intrigue collectors interested in war dramas with a more personal touch.
