The music compliments what's happening on screen perfectly. It's seriously some if the most provocative movie music ever. I guess you could describe it as ambient, but, like, the most unsettling ambient music EVER (okay, probably not, but when paired with the movie...).

[...] I also noticed a few split diopter shots (a lens split in two parts, with each part having a different focal length, often used to get deep focus, see. Rather than simply using these shots for deep focus, the film creates some really beautiful visual compositions.

[...] Come and See is a masterpiece, and among the greatest war movies ever made. I can't recommend it for the faint of heart, but if you want to see something truly great, go and see.
