Have you seen The Ascent yet? Not super related to Come and See... but both focus on war, are very good and Shepitko was married to Klimov... so that's something. I think you'll like it.

Nope, but I have it. I'll try to get to it soon since I've been wanting to see more Russian films outside of Eisenstein and Tarkovsky. And don't worry, I'm gonna dl My Friend Ivan Lapshin soon enough.
