Every day, AlloCiné recommends watching a movie (again) on TV. Tonight: Jude Law as Sniper Jean-Jacques Anoche.
Based in Los Angeles since 1993, Frenchman Jean-Jacques Annaud signed on to major American production in 2001. This is a war movie. Stalingrad, came out two years after the acclaimed Saving Private Ryan. Instead of relying on spectacular action scenes, as Steven Spielberg did, the director focuses more on the human aspect of his characters.
The film is inspired by the historical confrontation between Russian Patriotic War hero Vasiliy Zaitsev and his German rival, Major Heinz Torvald, a master German sniper instructor sent to Stalingrad to assassinate a symbol of Soviet resistance. .
In the shoes of these snipers, Jude Law and Ed Harris engage in an intense duel in the ruins of a famous Russian city. A war of nerves that plunges us into the darkness of World War II and which has been paid tribute to by several video games, e.g. the call of duty, RTS Company of Heroes 2 or Valiant Arms Alliance.
on its production, Stalingrad is an international success, grossing $96 million worldwide, including 1.1 million admissions in France. It has an average of 3.9 out of 5 on AlloCiné.
