I have no idea the name of the film anymore, it is in Russian with English or French subtitles. Plot is a Russian ambulance team and its wounded soldier inside get cut off from the Russian advance and forces in 1945 invasion of Manchuria. They kind of wander around and try to not get noticed and survive, while all around them the aftereffects of the last stages of the war are occurring. Seemed rather well done and not your typical WW2 movie by any means.
Not WW2 era, but that Korean movie with English subtitle on the defenders at the boys school in Sept 1950 was a well done movie, IIRC. (It's been a while since I watched it). Same with the movie with english subtitles on the Chinese Civil War commander who spent a lifetime trying to prove he never retreated or bailed out of his last position (Assembly?). good film there.
finally, Dimly recall a movie of Finnish militia vs Russian KV-1s and BT tanks in Finnish with english subtitles- good use of illustrating the Finnish regular-issue Molotov Cocktail. Seemed decently historically portrayed. finns hold the line for a while but finally get ground under by the sheer number of attacks and no reinforcements or new supplies or weapons- finally results in their withdrawal. Can't recall the name of that one, either.
