Film: One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. 1970.

From the autobiographical novel of the same name by Alexander Solzhenitsyn. “The story is set in a Soviet labor camp in the early 1950s and describes a single day in the life of ordinary prisoner, Ivan Denisovich Shukhov”.

One thought on “Film: One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. 1970.”

  1. I have read the book and have seen the film.

    “The thoughts of a prisoner—they’re not free either. They kept returning to the same things. A single idea keeps stirring. Would they feel that piece of bread in the mattress? Would he have any luck in the dispensary that evening? Would they out Buinovsky in the cells? And how did Tsezar get his hands on that warm vest?”

    ― Alexander Solzhenitsyn, One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich
