The Immortal Legionary

1971 · ★ 8.0 · Comedy, Drama

Marching through the snowfields of Ukraine, the Writer is already haunted by visions. His famous characters in his novels, Jimmy Fülig, Ivan Gorchev, Sir Yolland, Marshal Podvinecz and others, appear in his visions, blurring reality. The heroes of the novel do not deny themselves here either, and try to counterbalance the terrible reality of everyday life with wry, grotesque humour...
