Written by

“How many lives is this war worth?!” Roadside Attractions has debuted an official trailer for a sweeping historical drama titled Bitter Harvest, set during “The Holodomor” in Ukraine in between the first and second World War. The “Holodomor” was a genocidal famine engineered by Joseph Stalin, as an effort to stop the Ukrainian independence movement, resulting in the deaths of millions of people. The film tells the story of a romance between a young Ukrainian couple torn apart by the starvation. Max Irons stars, along with Samantha Barks as his lover, also including Terence Stamp, Barry Pepper, Richard Brake, Aneurin Barnard, Tom Austen, Tamer Hassan and Lucy Brown. This looks okay, but it’s hard to tell with this trailer. There’s too much going on and the director isn’t that impressive, it might not be any good. ›››
