The Taurus Constellation poster

Released in 2003, The Taurus Constellation is a war and romance film directed by Pyotr Todorovskiy, running about 97 minutes.

What it’s about. Todorovsky's film examines life in a provincial Russian town (that is too small to even appear on the map) just outside of Stalingrad during the famous WWII Battle. This is NOT a traditional war film, and the epic events of the battle take place almost entirely off screen. Instead, Todorovsky outlines a crude love triangle between three young people caught up in the harsh Russian winter. The stark winter settings, and the characters' struggle for survival, are what make this film one worth watching.

Who’s in it. The Taurus Constellation stars Ivan Zhidkov, Georg Zheno, Violetta Davydovskaya and Lyubava Aristarkhova, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.0/10, The Taurus Constellation has proved divisive with audiences.
