Summary: Highest Quality
Comment: This excellent movie is beautifully photographed, deeply affecting, intricate but clear, and it illustrates the monstrous abuse a totalitarian government perpetrates upon its citizens and their heroic battles against it. I highly recommend it.

Summary: burnt by the fire of the USSR revolution
Comment: An homage to those burnt by the Russian Socialist tyranny. All who were there were burnt: the victims, the perpetrators, the bystanders, former heroes included. Ideals were vanquished, dreams were dashed. A heart wrenching look at the devastating effects of political violence.

Summary: Incredible Movie
Comment: I thought this moving was engaging and sorrowful. A great picture was painted of Stalinist Russia and all of those who were affected by his dictatorship and paranoia. Great film and great historical lesson. I recommend it for anyone!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Watch it over and over
Comment: I'm really into Russian literature and film and this one is pure cream. Perfect casting, spectacular cinematography, and a great story. This film is never boring and, for Americans, yields an incredible sense of Russian culture under Stalin; however, the tale is not at all limited to misery -- there is no shortage of light humor and very interesting day to day life experience here.
This film tells the story of a (very likeable) major Russian hero, (retired and living at an art camp of sorts), and his lovely family, and how the tide of his life turns as a direct result of Stalin's lunatic madness and paranoia. Now, I want to say up front that I usually hate smooshy script and there's none of that here, albeit, there's a basic underlying love story.
If you can at all tolerate English subtitles, don't miss this one -- it's just super and SO much better than cheesy Hollywood fluff!
