# The Fall of Berlin (1950)

1950 · 151 min · War, Adventure · Soviet Union

Original title: Падение Берлина

## Synopsis

The Fall of Berlin is a 1950 Soviet two-part epic war and propaganda film. It was produced by Mosfilm Studio and directed by Mikheil Chiaureli, from a screenplay he co-wrote with Pyotr Pavlenko, and a musical score composed by Dmitri Shostakovich. Portraying the history of the Second World War with a focus on a highly positive depiction of the role Soviet leader Joseph Stalin played in the events, it is considered one of the most important manifestations of Stalin's cult of personality, and a noted example of Soviet realism. After De-Stalinization, the film was banned in the Eastern Bloc for several decades.
