one time a girl made me watch a comedy about some russian hillbillies that went fishing and it wasn't very good or funny but i had to pretend

twice i've seen that movie about the russians who find a magic door to paris, but both times it didn't have subtitles so i didn't know what was going on

Stalker is my favorite movie ever made. Everything from the audio design, to the writing, to the shifting usages of color and subtle camera movements that punctuate the insane spaces and geometry of the zone, its a perfect movie top to bottom to me.

Perhaps it's in the nature of television. Just waves in space.
I saw Stalingrad when it was playing at the IMAX I worked at and that movie was a pile of loving garbage.

I'm sorely lacking on seeing any ACTUAL Soviet cinema, though.

"There is no solitude greater than that of the samurai unless it be that of a tiger in the jungle... perhaps..."
I loved Garage by Eldar Ryazanov.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xqsa4u00GXM

Sadly this version doesn't have subtitles and I haven't found one online that does, but if you know Russian it's absolutely hilarious. The social commentary is pretty transparent.

Brief summary: a committee for the planning and construction of a parking garage for a wildlife preservation institute is having a very tedious meeting. Finally, they reach the last point on their agenda: a road is being built and will intersect part of the territory of the garage, meaning that the garage will have to be smaller than initially planned. As a result, four parking spots will have to be eliminated and the committee leadership has determined which four of the members will have to lose their spots. Those four are, naturally, furious, but the rest of the committee (who all want to go home) handily approves this decision. However, that isn't the end of the meeting, as one of the faculty members felt this decision to be so unjust that she decides to lock the room from the inside and hide the key until they have a better process for deciding who would lose their spots. (It doesn't help when it turns out that a few of the committee's members aren't even faculty at the wildlife preservation institute, but are there as political favors to expedite the construction of the garage.)

Eisenstein is a magnificent director. Last week I saw Ivan the Terrible Parts 1-2, Alexander Nevsky and Potemkin and it's astounding how incredibly far away he was from other directors during the era.

The Cranes are Flying (much catchier in Russian, Letiat Zhuravli) is a legit amazing movie and the fact that it was made in 1957 makes it even more impressive.

Same, it's really good. I read that people on the crew died from chemical poisoning because of the spot they picked. Some of that weird foamy poo poo I guess.

I watched At Home Among Strangers, a Stranger Among His Own last night without knowing anything about it and it was fun and cool. (it's on Amazon Prime Video as "Friend Among Strangers")

Found out later that it was the directorial debut of Nikita Mikhalkov, the same dude who directed Burnt by the Sun, which is excellent.

Yeah Cancer from toxic substances, and others received nasty chemical burns. Some of the sites they filmed at were next to industrial plants that were literally pumping toxic by products directly into the water. A similar thing happened in America with the filming of the John Wayne starring biopic of Genghis Khan The Conqueror the site they chose to stand in for Mongolia was down wind of numerous Nuclear bomb tests, and they brought the soil back to the studio for soundstage filming.

I also really liked some of the cartoons they made, like the animated version of "There will come soft rains", with that weird robotic snake thing. And Firing Range, the closest the Soviet Union ever got to mecha anime, the villains are Apartheid South Africans, and they get absolutely wrecked.

Oh man Iozhik v Tumane (the Hedghehog in the Fog) is an amazing short that apparently took like ten years to make because of the laborious but really cool animation style. The director, Iurii Norshtein, has apparently been working on an animated version of The Overcoat for like three decades. If it ever comes out it will probably be incredible.

Konstantin Lopushansky makes the best Russian post-apocalyptic films. he worked on Stalker before becoming a director himself.
