Info

Primarily a biographical documentary about the military career of Alexander Vasilvich Suvorov, who was Field Marshal of the armies of Catherine the Great and Czar Paul I. After many military successes during the reign of Catherine, General Suvorov broke with her successor, Paul I, the Mad Emperor, over questions regarding army policy. He went into retirement and wrote "The Science of Victory," containing maxims such as "Swiftness of movement accompanies victory," and "the real general is he who defeats the enemy before reaching him." The czar recalled Suvorov to become the leader of the joint armies of Russia and Austria against Napoleon.

General Suvorov Audience Reviews

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
shusei Unfortunately Vsevolod Pudovkin, the director of "Mother(Mat)"(1926) and "The end of St.Petersberh"(1927) is now usually mentioned as a master of "Soviet montage school" outdated after the commercial and artistic triumph of full-talkie movies. We, living outside Russia and the other countries that were a part of USSR, know very limited information about films like "Suvorov". This film is a clear manifestation of the famous director's skill and talent not limited by the technology of silent era. It was made in the first period of WW 2,apparently for raising patriotic pathos in the nation ( and 5 months after its release the German army attacked USSR). But how it was made! Top level actors' performance, accurately clear and tight composition(unlike recent Hollywood dull lengthy "blockbusters"), Anatoli Golovnya's shooting on risky high mountains, and the masterful control over all of those elements by Pudovkin (though credit title tells it's co-directed with Mikhail Doller ,I think that was only some kind of formal excuse for Soviet authorities disliking "formalism"of montage school). "Suvorov" convinced me again that Pudovkin was not only an interesting theorist of cinema, but also a master of film art.It's very sad that such a brilliant film,like many films during WW 2 made in other countries than USA and France (which represent 2 "mainstreams"of academic film studies ) now attract little attention of foreign film fans.
Daniil Artamonov Before watching it looked 5-hour documentary about the Suvorov and ordered his book "Science of Victory" ... I look forward to :) In school we learned a lot about Suvorov, like everything, everything on the fly, casual, required us to remember some bare facts. Disclosure of the identity of Suvorov and transformed me. Positive! Education has made it a lifetime highly motivated, highly spiritual leader, the commander of which he dreamed and dreams can be said every soldier. The film is perfectly chosen the right actor, and in appearance, and facial expression, and speech. Let it squandered all the battles and left only a trek through the Alps, however, the cancellation Crescendo! It is better that his short line segment his life is done, most likely, will not, that approach to the movie is constantly changing ... Quite a motivating speech late on Soviets way. The film was shown in the 40s, right during the Second World War, he must have a positive impact on the morale and patriotism of the people, as well as Alexander Nevsky. I liked it very much to their charge and morality.
