Russian Films

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 :mrgreen:

/me wonders what the picutres were... hehe :ohyahbaby:

Just a couple of snaps from my trip to Siberia. PM me and I'll send them, if you'd like.

Man with a Movie Camera (1929) :-

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.
