¡Que Viva Mexico!
(Да здравствует Мексика!)
Category: Film
Genre: Black and White, Documentary fiction
Status: online!
Hosts:
Conceived as a gigantic tableau of Mexican life, the film is a startling portrayal of the dramatic interaction between the ancient Mayan civilisation and the Spanish conquistadores and the modernising mythology of the Mexican Revolution. ¡Que viva México!, as Eisenstein had planned it, was to consist of six interdependent episodes. Their relationship was not strictly a narrative one, but was based on a poetic association of ideas and visual concepts which were to be united in an epic montage. The film evolved freely during Eisenstein's travels throughout Mexico. His inspired vision, photographed by the greatest cameraman of his time Eduard Tisse, achieves scenes of archetypal intensity and explores the simultaneity of past and present. There are pastoral scenes of peace under the shadows of the ancient pyramids; enactments of the Easter sacrifice; the celebration of death in the festivities of the Day of the Dead, and great moments of irony juxtaposed with the hunger for life in scenes of an uprising on a hacienda in Central Mexico. Eisenstein's filmic language combines the monumental depiction of Mexican life with the power of historical film drama.

17 Moments of Spring
(17 мгновений весны)
Category: Series
Genre: Black and White, Detective, Military
Status: online!
Hosts:
The twelve-part television series about a Soviet intelligence agent who infiltrated the Nazi Secret Service has become a cult film. For the first time since Chapayev jokes and literary parodies are being made up about its main protagonist, Stirlitz. The era of perestroika has passed, the Soviet system of values has been shattered, with the USSR itself ceasing to exist, yet the film continues to be watched and enjoyed. The film owes its astounding success to director T. Lioznova's many-year painstaking work, writer Y. Semyonov's suspense-packed plot, the brilliant performance by the actors and M. Tariverdiyev's music. If anyone would like to see a good TV Series he/she must see "17 moments of the Spring", where Viacheslav Tikhonov played wonderfully the role of the Soviet agent Stirlitz. In fact, this agent never existed, but he was like a compilation of those soviet agents (Kuznetsov, Sorge and others) who died fighting nazi occupation in the territories of former USSR. Leonid Bronevoi also played in excellent way the role of nazi officer Heinrich Mueller. The story of the series was like the one of cat vs mouse. Mueller always suspected of Tikhonov, but could prove nothing.

A wide-scope panoramic view of Russia in 1916. The country is in its third year of war which seems to never end, with police rule, hunger and devastation at their peak. All this plays out against a background of luxury and corruption at the court, where the agonizing power still entertains hopes of coping with "the rebels". The courtiers have a presentiment of the collapse of the Russian autocracy. Fear, despair and blind belief in Providence make a fertile ground for the "great" starets, adventurist Rasputin, who is a friend of the royal family and has gained mastery over the Czar and his ministers. The filmmakers used newsreels of the 1917 Revolution.

She has some self-confidence problems, hidden behind her gloomy humorless demeanor and plain old-fashioned look. Novoseltsevs colleagues consider him as a smart and experienced worker. He dreams about a promotion and a raise that would help him provide for his children, but he is too timid to talk to his boss about it. His former classmate and old friend, Yuri Grigorievich Samokhvalov, recently appointed assistant manager of the institution, suggests appointing Novoseltsev as a head of the light industry department, but Kalugina rejects it believing that Novoseltsev is not good enough for the position. Then, following Samokhvalov's advice, Novoseltsev unwillingly tries to flirt with "the Frump" at a party in Samokhvalov's apartment in order to "get into contact" with her. Feeling extremely uneasy he tries in vain to make conversation with her - talks about random things, reads poetry, shows off his singing and dancing abilities, but Kalugina gets annoyed and severely criticizes all his attempts to impress her. Eventually Novoseltsev becomes frustrated, flares up and tells Kalugina right in her face that he considers her dry, inhuman and heartless.

The puppet show has a happy end. The film's other story-line is different, with much more sad lyricism in it. In real life, unlike the puppet show, the relationship between the young puppeteer and his beloved is not that simple.

Andrei Rublev is set against the background of 15th century Russia. Although the film is only loosely based on the life of Andrei Rublev, its depiction of medieval Russia is realistic. Tarkovsky created a film that shows the artist as "a world-historic figure" and "Christianity as an axiom of Russia's historical identity" during a turbulent period of Russian history, that ultimately resulted in the Tsardom of Russia. The film is about the essence of art and the importance of faith and shows an artist who tries to find the appropriate response to the tragedies of his time. The film is also about artistic freedom and the possibility and necessity of making art for, and in the face of, a repressive authority and its hypocrisy, technology and empiricism, by which knowledge is acquired on one's own without reliance on authority, and the role of the individual, communnity, and government in the making of both spiritual and epic art. Because of the films's religious themes and political ambiguity, it was unreleased in the atheistic and authoritarian Soviet Union for years after it was completed, except for a single screening in Moscow. A cut version of the film was shown at the Cannes Film Festival in 1969, where it won the FIPRESCI prize. In 1971 a censored version of the film released in the Soviet Union. The film was further cut for commercial reasons upon release in the US in 1973. Because of this several versions of the film exist. Today Andrei Rublev is widely regarded as a masterpiece and one of Tarkovsky's best works. By opinion poll of the members of the European Academy of Film and Television (1995), this motion picture was recognized one of the world's ten best films (8th place).

Hosts:
At Home Among Srtangers, a Stranger Among His Own is a 1974 film starring Anatoly Solonitsyn and directed by Nikita Mikhalkov. The setting is post-Russian Civil War, during the reconstruction of the young Soviet republic. During the war, Shilov, Sarichev, Kungorov, Zabelin and Lipyagin had become great friends. There are two main plots in the film, the first involving the theft of gold by outlaws just after the Russian civil war. Though the cannons are now silent, the enemy continues to harass the Soviets. The regional committee sends a precious shipment of gold by train to Moscow, and a group of Cheka soldiers led by Shilov are entrusted with the responsibility of guarding it. The gold is needed to buy bread from overseas to feed the starving population. When the train is attacked by bandits, the guards are killed and the gold stolen. Shilov is kidnapped before the train sets off, and is dumped in the street, pumped full of drugs, after the attack. He is suspected of treason, partly because his brother was a "White", which is where the second plot comes in. Shilov must infiltrate the enemy camp to find the gold, hence the title. The second plot involves the Shilov's desire to clear his name of murder, and he must find out who killed his friend. During his efforts, Shilov uncovers a web of deceit and treachery, which allowed the robbery to succeed. The story of a hero battling against corruption and greed echoes the cattle baron or railroad Westerns. The film also has male cameraderie as a subplot, as the initial joy of demobbed Red Army soldiers returning from the Revolution is sorely tested. It has strong parallels in some ways with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in its look, period setting, and strong action sequences, which are still famous in Russia, involving literal cliffhangers, white water rafting, chases on horseback, holding up trains etc.

"The Barber of Siberia" is dedicated by Mikhalkov to Russian officers, "the pride of the country", and its main topic is the set of values regarded as the cornerstone of Russian mentality, culture and politics. Those values seem to be honor and truthfulness, but also to obey authority and blind willingness to sacrifice one's life. The plot is a love-story, however a very unorthodox one. Jane Callahan, a once beautiful American, writes to her son, a cadet at a famous military academy, but who is he? Her memories take us back 20 years to when she arrived in Russia to assist Douglas McCracken, an obsessive engineer who needs the Grand Duke's patronage to sponsor his invention...

The Color of Pomegranates / Sayat Nova
(Цвет граната)
Category: Film
Genre: Folk
Status: online!
Hosts:
Steeped in religious iconography, The Color of Pomegranates is a deeply spiritual testament to director Sergei Parajanov’s fascination with Armenian folk art and culture. It is also a controversial work, which, coupled with another of his films, Shadows of our Forgotten Ancestors, led to his arrest and imprisonment in a Soviet Gulag for four years. The Soviets insisted he was guilty of selling gold and icons illegally and committing “homosexual acts.” In reality, his only crime was offending the tenets of socialist realism, both in his daring surrealistic form and in his choice of subject matter. While many of the popular films of this era in Soviet cinema were largely propaganda designed to serve the ideological interests of the regime, Parajanov chose to focus on the ethnography and spirituality of the Ukraine, Armenia, and Georgia.

Dersu Uzala
(Дерсу Узала)
Category: Film
Genre: Action, Adventures, People/life
Status: online!
Hosts:
This Akira Kurosawa film is based on the books by Vladimir Arsenyev, a prominent Russian scientist and explorer of the late 19th-early 20th centuries. It is the story of the writer's long-standing friendship with a taiga trapper named Dersu Uzala. In the course of their travels, a real-life character, Dersu, was revealing to his friend, the secrets of the Ussuri taiga, the animals' special ways, the traditions and beliefs of the indigenous people. This motion picture teaches us to approach Nature with loving care, to open up our hearts to man and beast, to bird and flower. The understanding and bonding that develops between the two men Arseniev and Dersu is wonderful to see, and over two hours holds your attention with expertly observed minutiae of character and scenic interplay. The last ten minutes cover a lot of ground (no pun intended) but it's all so logical and sad that I always need to see the end credits to recover. So many marvellous scenes: the tiger in the forest in the morning; the phlegmatic reclusive old Chinaman; the raft; wispy blue shaded smoke from night-fires; the conclusion of course; the view of those two great men, the Moon and the Sun in the same shot. Not everyone would like Dersu, their most likely comments being "boring" - but how wrong they are they'll never know!

Features of the National Fishing
(Особенности национальной рыбалки)
Category: Film
Genre: Comedy
Status: online!
Hosts:
The film is showing Russian temperament during the fishing. This film is very nice and I recommend to take a bottle of russian vodka with. Several friends (General Ivolgin, huntsman Kuzmich and Leva Soloveychik) decide to spend their vacation by fishing. Taking with themselves a large helping of vodka, they sail off, but quickly find themselves without much understanding as to their present location. Finally reaching some shore, which they mistakenly believe is still Russia, but which in reality happens to be neighboring Finland, they get off the ship and spend some time on the shore, eventually falling asleep. Not without the effect of previously consumed alcohol, the friends manage to forget their supplies of vodka as they sail off the shore. The quantity of forgotten goods being sizable (15 cases, with each case traditionally holding 20 bottles), they now face the challenging task of getting back their belongings, which now happen to reside across the border in a different country. This is the second film of the series (united by many of the common characters, although not necessarily with full continuity of content), which currently consists of four comedies, all of which explore the same theme but in different environment, which is reflected in the common first part of the name, Peculiarities of national .... The first film is a 1995 comedy about hunting; the third is a 2000 comedy about hunting in winter time; the last is a 2003 comedy about politics.

The film is showing Russian temperament during the fishing. This film is very nice and I recommend to take a bottle of russian vodka with. Several friends (General Ivolgin, huntsman Kuzmich and Leva Soloveychik) decide to spend their vacation by fishing. Taking with themselves a large helping of vodka, they sail off, but quickly find themselves without much understanding as to their present location. Finally reaching some shore, which they mistakenly believe is still Russia, but which in reality happens to be neighboring Finland, they get off the ship and spend some time on the shore, eventually falling asleep. Not without the effect of previously consumed alcohol, the friends manage to forget their supplies of vodka as they sail off the shore. The quantity of forgotten goods being sizable (15 cases, with each case traditionally holding 20 bottles), they now face the challenging task of getting back their belongings, which now happen to reside across the border in a different country. This is the second film of the series (united by many of the common characters, although not necessarily with full continuity of content), which currently consists of four comedies, all of which explore the same theme but in different environment, which is reflected in the common first part of the name, Peculiarities of national .... The first film is a 1995 comedy about hunting; the third is a 2000 comedy about hunting in winter time; the last is a 2003 comedy about politics.

You must see this man, his flat which looks like Hell landscape and his doings that are caricature and horrible at the same time - REALLY horrible since that man ends violating moral law... And betrayal of a friend - the only being sympathized him and one sent to save him - plunged this man into "outer darkness where is weeping and gnashing of teeth". Still the man is not evil in himself - he's possessed. And in the moments of sobriety his suffering are sharp. One of the best works of splendid Sergei Shakurov. Also the film is notable as animal movie - the spectator is just completely charmed by this second figure in the story - Newfoundland dog called Друг (Friend)...

In this family, grandmother Tosia - who dug ditches at the front in WWII, took care of her daughter's children, and divided the proceeds of the sale of her house to her two sons and daughter - is threatened with homelessness. Regardless of her sacrifices in the past for her extended family, scarcely any of her relatives express willingness to take her in. And the more well-off they are, the more antipathy they seem to possess. This film does a fairly good job of presenting much of the societal upheaval that took place during the 90's in Russia, by focusing on the relationships of one family that had to live through them. At times the subject matter can be very funny and at other times downright heart breaking.

The Idiot is a costume drama TV series produced by Telekanal "Rossiya" in 2003 based on Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel with the same title. The series was branded by the novel's original pre-1920's orthography title "ИДIОТЪ" (in all caps) instead of the current "ИДИОТ" as one will find it on the bookshelves in Russia (to promote the atmosphere of the tsarist time when the film's plot takes place).

The Irony of Fate
(Ирония судьбы)
Category: Film
Genre: Adventures, Comedy, New Year, Romance
Status: online!
Hosts:
This modestly budgeted, made-for-TV romantic comedy became one of the most popular films in the former Soviet Union and a staple of TV broadcasts on New Year's Eve. It's based on the premise that modern apartment complexes look so much alike that one cannot distinguish one city from another. On New Year's Eve, Muscovite Yevgeny Lukashin finally dares to make a marriage proposal to Galya. They plan to celebrate the New Year together quietly, but Lukashin's friends convince him that first he should attend their annual meeting at a bathhouse. The meeting quickly turns into an improvisational bachelor party for Yevgeny. Having consumed large amounts of alcohol, they cannot remember which one of them was supposed to fly to Leningrad to meet his wife. So they put the sleepy Lukashin on a plane. Upon his arrival in the Leningrad airport, Yevgeny gives the taxi driver his Moscow street address and the cab takes him to an apartment complex located on a street with the same name. The building looks very much like his own, so Lukashin, still not quite sober, does not realize that he is in another city...

Among the film's achievements is not only splendid acting, but also the fact that "Kinfolk" remains as contemporary and topical as before.

Marusya Konovalova, a kind, simple-hearted country woman, comes to Moscow to visit her only daughter and tries to help "glue together" her broken-up family. Acting with best intentions, she cannot understand why her interference provokes a stormy protest. First film role of Oleg Menshikov. N. Mikhalkov, A. Adabashyan and P. Lebeshev as waiters and cooks!

Genre: Drama

Hosts:
The James Aldridge story "The Last Inch" was written in 1957 and translated into Russian the same year, while the first English edition came out in 1960. Most unusual story line: veteran pilot decides to make some extra-money by filming underwater shark feeding at the remote Red Sea location. He takes with him young son for a plane ride, while goes underwater. The trouble is: while filming, he has been viciously attacked by a pack of angry sharks which render him incapacitated to fly home. Now he faces an option: either both of them die in the desert or his little boy must fly them back. His son has some rudimentary knowledge of flying, but does not have any real experience. The father lost a lot of blood and he is in constant pain. He is drifting in and out of consciousness, hence additional danger may be that his son will be all along in the air. Keeps the viewer on the edge of the seat. The musical score is well chosen as well. In 2008 this film celebrates the 50th anniversary.

During the post-WW2 reconstruction in Russia, bald-headed technocrat Drozhdov equates communism with the empowerment of the ordinary man over the arrogant "specialness" of genius. Dedicated scientist Lopatkin takes refuge in Moscow with the potty, brilliant old inventor Busko. Lopatkin works tirelessly on his invention, embarking on a roller-coaster of rejection and acceptance, his work vilified, plucked apart and plagiarized by colleagues, particularly by his nemesis Drozhdov. Drozhdov's wife Natasha, alienated from her cold, controlling husband, is increasingly drawn to Lopatkin, whom she knew when they both taught at the same school. Soon she runs away from her husband and happily keeps house for the two absent-minded ex-professors Lopatkin and Busko. Natasha is ready to give Lopatkin her own life, love and faith. Lopatkin is eager to sacrifice his life for the idea, doing the utmost for his motherland.

The Meeting Place Should Not Be Changed (Russian: Место встречи изменить нельзя) is a 1979 Soviet 5-part television miniseries directed by Stanislav Govorukhin. It achieved the status of a cult film in the USSR, and along with Seventeen Moments of Spring it became a part of popular culture, as well as the target of many Russian jokes. The series star Vladimir Vysotsky in one of his final screen appearances (he died prematurely less than a year after the film's release). Soviet screen and stage legends Sergey Yursky, Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, Zinovy Gerdt, Yevgeni Yevstigneyev and Leonid Kuravlev also appear in the film. The film was released in the West as "The Age of Mercy", the title of the novel by Arkadi and Georgi Vayner on which the film is based. The film is set in post-WWII Moscow. A young reconnaissance officer Vladimir Sharapov returns from the war and is assigned for peacetime duty at the famous MUR (Moscow Department of Criminal Investigations). There he becomes part of a team lead by the brilliant, tough, no-nonsense homicide detective Gleb Zheglov. The duo becomes embroiled in two seemingly separate investigations: that of a murder of an aspiring young actress Larisa Gruzdeva, and a hunt for a vicious gang of armed robbers that calls itself "Black Cat" and constantly manages to evade capture...

Alexei German's third film as director is based on stories written by his father, prominent author Yuri German. The mostly black-and-white film begins with a present-day color sequence, then reverts to monochrome and the freezing winter of 1935, when the narrator was nine years old. The boy lived in an apartment with his father and two other men, Police Chief Ivan Lapshin and his officious underling. The story focuses on Lapshin as he tracks down a gang of crooks in his provincial Russian village, helps his recently widowed friend, and enters into a tentative relationship with an actress. Capable direction by German and a talented ensemble cast make this detailed look at the pre-purge Soviet Union both entertaining and richly rewarding.

The Russian writer Andrei Gortchakov comes to Italy to research the life of a serf musician, Pavel Sosnovsky, who had once visited those places. The search for signs of the musician's days in emigration unites Gortchakov with interpreter Eugenia who tries to find the reason for her Russian friend's melancholy. Soon Gortchakov begins to realize that the musician's life story in a large part resembles his own: he feels he is a stranger in Italy, but he cannot return home, either. He lapses into a depressing inertia; his homesickness turns to an illness. The film is dedicated to the memory of the director's mother, Maria Ivanovna Vishnyakova.

The “old men” in this squadron were no older than twenty, but those “wet behind the ears”, a reinforcement fresh from flying schools with accelerated training, were not allowed to go to battle for quite a while… They were yet to experience everything – the heat of the battle, the joy of the first victory over the enemy, the grandeur of a brotherhood strengthened with blood, the first love, and the bitterness of a loss…And there came the day when, on hearing the command “only ‘old men’ are going to battle”, it was them who rushed to their planes…

This is a charming film. This is a movie you instantly fall in love with - romantic, refreshing, full of melody and extremely poetic. The actors are brilliant, they all make a history in cinema and theater. Shooting was made on the streets of good "old" Moscow, as stylish for some as Paris of 50s, Prague of 60s...

(Тихий Дон)
Category: Film
Genre: Drama, Historical, Military, People/life, Romance
Status: online!
Hosts:
A screen adaptation of the novel of the same name by Soviet writer Mikhail Sholokhov, a Nobel Prize winner. The film depicts the destinies of the Don Cossacks during the First World War and the Civil War in Russia. Cossack Grigory Melekhov lives in a village of Veshenskaya. He is in love with Aksynia, but on his fatherâs insistence, has to marry another girl. Finding out about his love affair with Aksynia, his young wife leaves home. Shortly before the war, Grigory and his beloved also leave the farm. While on the Austrian front, Grigory learns of the Czarâs abdication and of the end of the war. He is on his way home where Aksynia must be waiting for him. I would highly recommend this film to anyone that is interested in Cossack history and culture and/or early Soviet history. A couple bits of advice for the foreign/western viewer: 1. The first part may not be as exciting as the last two, but it introduces you to all the characters in the film and fleshes out their relations to each other. To get the most out of the parts 2 and 3, it is important to make an effort to put names to faces and note how each character is related to each other. 2. The films were made for audiences that already had some knowledge of Cossacks and this period in history (WWI, Russian revolution, and the civil war). There are scenes that take place in parts 2 and 3 that no background information is given on, and if you are not familiar with the history will be somewhat confusing. It is highly recommended that one do a little reading online on Cossack history during this period before viewing this miniseries. It would also help to have a basic understanding of Russian revolution and subsequent civil war.

This last Tenghiz Abuladze film is crowning the trilogy started by the motion pictures 'The Plea' and 'The Wishing Tree'. In the Soviet Union, the film was put into distribution only as late as 1987, during the 'glasnost' period. The film's structure is somewhat whimsical: the action develops, as it were, outside the time framework, with no specified indication to the 1930s. In the character of dictator Varlam Aravidze, the traits of Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin and Beria are equally recognizable. Three generations of one family are paying for the sins of their fathers. In a totalitarian society, the first to perish are the artists, like Sandro Barateli and his wife. Years later, their daughter, Keti, avenges the death of her parents.

(Руслан и Людмила)
Category: Film
Genre: Fairy-tale, Fantasy, Military, Romance
Status: online!
Hosts:
Ruslan and Ludmila is a magnificent fairy tale, a mythic epic with a nominal basis in historical events but featuring witches and wizards, giants and dwarves, heroes and villains. Part epic mythology, part tongue-in-cheek fantasia, the film delivers on all scores and it's a true crowd-pleaser in the best sense of the term. Director Aleksandr Ptushko, the master of Soviet fantasy, pulled out all the stops for this, the last film (in fact, a film in two parts that took four years to film) that he would make before dying in 1973. The story is (very) loosely based on a famous epic poem by Pushkin, most beloved of Russian writers, and the action is set sometime in the 9th or 10th century. Ruslan is a great knight - defender of the medieval Russian principality of Kiev. As a reward for his bravery in crushing the Pecheneg Tartars, Ruslan is given the hand of the Grand Prince's daughter, Ludmila, in marriage (good thing too, as they love each other). However, she is mysteriously abducted on the night of their wedding and the Grand Prince, consumed with grief, declares that whomever is able to restore her to him may be her new husband.

Hosts:
The film is based on the novel "Oblomov" by Russian writer Ivan Goncharov. The 19th-century Russian landed gentry's life was idle and boring. Its representatives had a hard time of finding a purpose in life, of realizing their potential. Likewise, the film's protagonist, Ilya Ilyich Oblomov, refused to work just for the sake of building up his fortune, for he did not see in it any lofty ideal. Lying on a sofa and indulging in "philosophical" reflections on the meaning of life, he let the life slip by him, including the love of his life, Olga. Having despaired of ever getting to his heart, she married his friend, Shtoltz.

The Americans so has liked this film, that Francis Coppola and Roger Corman have simply made cuts (have simply copped, in fact) the Soviet film and have let out in 1963 with the name "The Battle Beyond the Sun". Besides, the Americans completely repeated a plot "The Sky Calls" and they unceremoniously used the separate episodes from the Soviet film.

The Agatha Christie novel upon which this film is based is an excellent read and one of her most popular titles. It has been put into film many times, but each version is far inferior to the actual novel. Except this one. There is no matching the quality of the book, but this Russian one does a very good job, because for the first time the material is not softened down. It is as dark and as grim as Agatha Christie intended her novel to be. It also keeps the original ending, which other versions have adjusted, forfeiting the deeper things that the story has to stay. The flashbacks are woven in perfectly, the sound recording is noticeably sharp, and in general there is very little to complain about this superb rendition of the novel.

Tomorrow Was the War
(Завтра была война)
Category: Film
Genre: Drama, Military, People/life, Romance, Socialism
Status: online!
Hosts:
Based upon the classic of the same name by Boris Vasilyev ("The Dawns Here Are Quiet", "Officers"), this film recreates with an amazing authenticity the atmosphere of the Soviet Union in the 30s-40s, stirring both feelings of admiration and horror, and, thus, mesmerizing and enticing. The year is 1940; a small provincial town. A schoolgirl in class 9b, Vika Lyuberetskaya, recites poems by the banned poet Sergey Yesenin. Soon, her father is arrested as "an enemy of the people". The girl is then taunted and harassed at school, after which she commits suicide. And ‘tomorrow’ – almost literally – the war starts and most of yesterday’s schoolchildren are to die in its ensuing rampage: one is burned in a tank, one is hanged for participation in the resistance, one becomes an ace pilot. This is a great movie; see it if you have the opportunity. Maybe you’ll learn something you didn’t know about people from the USSR and about this period of history. The film’s soundtrack includes music of the 1930s and works of Antonio Vivaldi.

The Ugly Swans

Category: Film
Genre: Sci-fi
Status: online!
Hosts:
The Ugly Swans is a 2006 Russian science fiction film directed by Konstantin Lopushansky, based on the novel of the same name by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. The film is often compared to Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker, also adapted from a Strugatsky book. Film buffs will no doubt be debating whether it's traces of Tarkovsky's "Stalker" or his "Solaris" that show up in "The Ugly Swans." The former comes through with its sense of a closed, strange community of "others" (the mysterious zona), the latter with its elegiac sense of a protagonist coming back into contact with a past life... The film is probably all that and more. It's also aesthetically outstanding and emotionally moody in a way that's very hard to gauge. Eliciting no simple reaction, it nevertheless demands attention. Tarkovsky would have been proud.

The film is based on the works by Russian writer Anton Chekhov. This is a picture of life of the Russian gentry in the late 19th century. Without a grain of sentimentality, the director reveals the moral bankruptcy of his heroes. A village teacher, Platonov, is undergoing an emotional crisis. He believes his life has had no purpose. He is tormenting both himself and his young wife, Sashenka. The film’s another protagonist – Doctor Terletsky – hates his patients and his work. The guests staying with a general’s wife, Anna Petrovna, are talking about the pleasures of a simple village life, not really believing what they are saying. The retro style chosen by the director and the masterly cinematography (a credit to Nikita Mikhalkov’s permanent cameraman – Pavel Lebeshev) combine to make this film a real treasure for the lovers of Russian classics. Played in the film is the music by G. Donizetti, F. Liszt, S. Rachmaninov.

The literal translation of this film's title is "Welcome, strangers are not admitted." It is a satirical comedy about the stupidity of the people in charge of children's education, and the film punctures the pretensions of Young Pioneer summer camps, specifically. The Young Pioneers was a huge organization to which all children were supposed to belong. It offered communist party indoctrination for children from ages nine to age 14, but also included some "Boy and Girl Scout"-like activities, especially at its summer camps. Some camps were quite prestigious, such as the one in this story. The camp director is eager to train children to obey rules. He places signs all over the camp indicating the specific rules and prohibitions which he wants obeyed. One particularly rebellious boy makes lots of trouble for the leaders of the camp, leaving his hiding place among the camp's "underground" every so often to play another prank. The leadership of the camp would very much like to find the boy and punish him and are frustrated by the silent, stoical refusal of the campers and some of the counselors to own up to his presence among them. This zany comedy was very popular in the former Soviet Union...

White Bim the Black Ear
(Белый Бим Чёрное ухо)
Category: Film
Genre: Animals, Drama
Status: online!
Hosts:
This is a touching story about a hunting dog, faithfully devoted to his master, an elderly writer. The war veteran Ivan Ivanovich got very sick one day (his wartime wounds had never healed). He lived alone and had no one in the world but his loyal Bim. After Ivan Ivanovich was taken to hospital, the dog had to be moved from one house to another, to live in the families of strangers. Bim experienced a lot of suffering, for he had never known the whole truth about human nature. But among a lot of different people that Bim encountered and who tried to possibly help him, there were good Samaritans, too. Almost as good as his master. It's one of those films you only have to see once to have every frame instilled in your heart forever.

White Sun Of The Desert
(Белое солнце пустыни)
Category: Film
Genre: Action, Adventures, Drama, Military, Romance
Status: online!
Hosts:
This Middle-Eastern, or rather a Central-Asian action film, about the Red Army fighting the counter-revolutionary robber bands has become not only a cult movie, but also one of the favorites for several generations of viewers. With Russian cosmonauts, it is a tradition to view this film before going to outer space. The films success paved the way for a genre of national Eastern. A demobbed soldier, Fyodor Sukhov, is making his way through the desert to his home village. The band of the brutal Abdulla is raging in that area. Sukhov is charged with escorting the chiefs harem, because Abdulla intended to kill his women rather than let them go free. Sukhovs mate, a young soldier Petrukha, dies at the hand of Abdulla. But at the decisive moment, Sukhov gets help from the former customs officer Vereshchagin and a poor peasant, Said. White Sun of the Desert is one of the most popular Russian films of all time. Its blend of action, comedy, music and drama have made it wildly successful and it has since achieved the status of a cult film in Soviet and Russian culture. The film has contributed many sayings to the Russian language. The film is ritually watched by cosmonauts before many space launches.

Zhenya, Zhenechka and 'katyusha'
(Женя, Женечка и Катюша)
Category: Film
Genre: Drama, Military, Romance
Status: online!
Hosts:
Touching story about love of a young romantic man (Zhenya), who is a soldier of Guard Mortar Division (Division of "Katusha" Reactive Mortars) and a girl-telegraphist (Little Zhenya) at the last months of WW II. Some funny scenes from Soviet Army everyday life however was considered by former USSR bureaucracy as offensive to national military history, thus the movie was not allowed for many years. Watching the movie you see the war by eyes of indeed a Moscow boy who being a soldier is out of war in his dreams. He does not let the war into his soul making feats of arms and not understanding this. The last winter of the greatest war is over, a new spring with new dreams comes on, and it seems that all troubles left behind and only best days of love and happiness wait for Zhenya and Little Zhenya, but even the last days of the war can be tragic.
