Synopsis
Commandant of Lauterburg (1969) is a Soviet TV drama you can watch online on iFILM. The war has just ended, and Lieutenant Colonel Lubentsov is appointed commandant of a small German town.
There is nothing left to fight, yet running ruined Lauterburg — where yesterday's enemy is now a civilian in his charge — proves almost harder than combat. Lubentsov has to rebuild ordinary life and reckon with both the townsfolk and his own conscience. It is adapted from Emmanuil Kazakevich's novel "House on the Square," with Leonid Bronevoy among the cast. Pavel Reznikov directed.
A quiet, talky drama about what comes after victory, when the habit of war won't quite let go. No battles here, but plenty of real characters. Stream Commandant of Lauterburg (1969) online on iFILM.
