Quicksand Fans

Not sure what film this is from or why they two of them choose to cross an obviously deep and soft mud bog, but I just love the color and consistency of the mud here. Nice long sinking scene and wading through shoulder deep mud. Oh, and judging from the title of the piece . . . uhm, well her dress did get a bit muddy!

Perhaps others have posted this before, but it was new for me. Enjoy!

I thought for sure he was going to smack her in the head with that rifle ..lol

Nice find and mud!!

Now THAT'S method acting!

I think that scene is from the movie "Come And See".

You are quite correct, Boggyman, that scene is indeed from the Russian film "Come And See'. I have the DVD and I can tell you that the actress is Olga Miranova. The film is a very powerful war film concerning a young lad and his girlfriend who join the partisans to fight the Nazis.
I would definitely recommend the film, not only for the excellent bog scene, but it's pertrayal of how war can affect people.

Thank you Herzeleid for the info.

It never ceases to amaze me the breadth and depth (pun intended) of the knowledge base of this awesome extended Community that I get to be a part of. The mere thought that two Members here were able to recognize the really obscure film this scene came from (wait, obscure Russian film, no less) and post that film's title and synopsis here on this Board for all to read less than 12 hours after I posted the clip is nothing short of amazing. That one of you folks actually own a DVD copy of the film and can highly recommend it is by any standard measurement, absolutely off the charts.

Over the years, I have viewed literally tens of thousands of photo images, vidcaps, film clips and full videos depicting q/s and mud and the folks who land themselves at various depths into theses non-Newtonian substances. I recognize that it is highly unlikely (actually, nigh on impossible) that "little old me" is going to locate and post some obscure clip or photo that none of our Membership has ever seen, but I do hold out hope. I had thought that yesterday's post contained just such a clip.

Many thanks again to Boggy Man and Herzeleid for reminding me once again of the awesome power of the internet and for knocking me down a couple of pegs. A little humility is a good thing.

Still, the mud in that scene was really cool, wasn't it?

This clip is pretty well known within the community. It was known even before the "Dawns are quiet here"

Actually, I recognized this scene because a link to a 30.8 mb wmv file of this scene, and one to a YouTube clip, was posted at Deep Sinking a while back on a couple of occasions.

Saw this clip a while back. Pretty good scene.

Further to my reply to Chestdeep, I've found that the film is available as a double disc re-mastered version on a certain CD and DVD internet store in the UK for £14 ; 99, so I might just take the "Plunge" and buy it. The thought of Olga Miranova struggling through a "Re - mastered" bog is quite appealing!
