Russian Films

[Amethyst Star]

Next month I have to do a report on a Russian film for my language class. I also have to describe elements in it that make it uniquely Russian. I know this is kind of a limited topic here, but does anyone know any good movies that I could check out. I'd prefer it to have English sub-titles, or dubbed in English if possible. Thanks!

Hey Ame', I'll ask my girl for you, there's probably a site for what you're looking for. Btw, did you get the pics I sent? D. This is the Russian Business Directory for the US. They list video stores under books, audio, video. Might lead you to some other info. Hope this helps.www.rususa.com

Thanks so much, Carter! I really appreciate it. And yes, I received those pictures with a great amount of jealousy

I studied film while at university and can name a few good films for you to watch. There are some really interesting Russian (politcal) films, one i reccomend you watch is called Burnt by the Sun (1994):- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111579/ Some of the older films made in Russia are interesting, there is a film called Battleship Potemkin (1925):- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0015648/ Here are a few other films i know about:- Man with a Movie Camera (1929) :- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0019760/ Stalingrad (1993) :- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108211/ *Good film to check out. Most Russian films deal with politics so its always easy to find somthing to write about.

Thanks, MJ! I actually saw Burnt by the Sun during my first year of Russian language, but I'll see if I can get my hands on one of the others.
