"This is not a realistic movie, not at all. But it is a very good film, probably one of the best. Vera Alentova and Alexej Batalov are excellent as Ekaterina and Gosha, Irina Muravieva is charming as Ljudmila. The music,...

"The title STALKER is quite misunderstood because many think it is a translation from a Russian word that means 'to stalk.'. Actually Tarkovsky's script inserted the word STALKER thinking it was a catchy English equivale...
"I saw this movie in Paris about 15 years ago. Just happened upon it, playing at an obscure theater, and decided to give it a try. I had never seen a Russian WW II movie and was curious to see how they handled it. Seeing...
As a non-Russian immigrant from the USSR, I have largely lost (unfortunately) appreciation for Soviet movies - nowadays I'll be lucky to put together two words in Russian, which has been almost entirely replaced by Engli...
"This is a very good, light comedy. It focuses on things that key into Russian life, but the humor is universal. I think most Americans will enjoy it, even if they have to use subtitles to make sense of the very good Rus...

"This has to be the greatest film ever made. It's certainly the most expensive, but that doesn't tell the whole story. In the English-dubbed version, which is slightly abridged from the original Russian-language version,...
Typical of Gaidays' work, this film delivers pure, lighthearted fun. Even the bad guys get the laughs and the viewers sympathy (pity?). The script is loaded with good one liners, and even the ones that refer to Soviet er...

"Filmed in the golden-sepia color of an early talkie-movie, Of Freaks and Men, a 1998 movie, has a measured pace, angelic music, and a story line that assaults every sensitivity before offering reprieve. Basically, this ...
"This is a typical (semi slapstick) Gaiday film. It is corny, well produced, and will please anyone who enjoys the upper crust of silly comedy. The subtitles are just fine. You do not have to understand any Russian to la...
"The bottom line of this underrated masterpiece (well received upon its initial release in the 50s to be later dismissed as ""Soviet propaganda"" by a western public who often confounded cynism with truth) is that someti...
"This is a hilarious movie - and will have you clutching your sides with laughter. Three short vignettes about ""Shurik"" - the hero from Kavskaja Plenitsa. My personal favourite is the one where he prepares for the exam...
This is a wonderfully believable film about many things. War, prejudice, fear, love, but most of all human nature. It is at times tragic, but mostly it's inspiring and hopeful, without being mushy or overly sentimental. ...
