Synopsis
White Tiger (2012) — watch online on iFILM, a Russian war fantasy directed by Karen Shakhnazarov, adapted from Ilya Boyashov's novel. Starring Aleksei Vertkov, with Vitaliy Kishchenko and Valery Grishko. 104 minutes.
Spring 1945. A ghost German Tiger tank has been appearing on the Eastern Front — firing without warning, destroying everything in range, then vanishing back into smoke. The Soviet command assigns Sergeant Naydenov to hunt it: a man pulled barely alive from a burnt-out tank pit, scarred beyond recognition, who claims he can hear the enemy machine.
Shakhnazarov builds something that works as both a war film and a parable. The tank battles are staged with real hardware and real scale, but the "White Tiger" is less a piece of enemy equipment than a force that outlives any individual conflict. Russia entered the film for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar in 2013. Stream White Tiger (2012) on iFILM.
