| | 1. |  | Burnt by the Sun
from Sony Pictures
Customer Review:
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.

| | 2. |  | Close to Eden
from Paramount
Customer Review:
A film spare yet beautiful, Close to Eden is an intimate picture which takes its time telling a simple story, and in doing so tells a larger one. It is a film about our basic needs, and how our happiness is often tied to tradition and the winds of change. We must all decide when and how much to... more info

from Kultur Video
Customer Review:
Alexander Nevsky (Sergei Eisenstein, 1938)
Round up one hundred film buffs and ask them what they remember best about Alexander Nevsky. Chances are at least ninety-five of them will give you the same answer: the battle on the ice. And yeah, for 1938, with Russian technology (which was running... more info

| | 4. | [no image] | Leningrad Cowboys Go America
from Orion Home Video
Customer Review:
One of my all-time favorite films, one of the very few I can watch again and again. Hilarious, but dead-pan. Yes, The Blues Brothers is on the same list. You'll love it or hate it. America as a Finn might see it - hot cars, hot music, ethnic diversity, shabbiness...

| | 5. |  | Window to Paris
from Columbia/Tri-Star
Customer Review:
The struggle between the inteligencia and the average people in a rapidly-changing society is one of many themes of this movie. If "Moscow Doesn't Believe in Tears" shows how life was during the years of stagnation (70s), this movie shows the life right after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Nicely... more info

| | 6. |  | My Name Is Ivan
from Fox Lorber
Customer Review:
I'd tell you to go out and rent it now, but most of you won't, if you bother to look at my review anyway. :-) And there are some that won't like it much. But I liked it a lot. It's very sad-- in the "there are 8 of us and we're all under 19" scene, where Ivan throws the knife, and imagines/feels... more info

| | 7. |  | The Thief
from Sony Pictures
Customer Review:
This is one of the best Russian films I have seen. You will not see a boring movie like our American all-to-predictable endings. On some foreign movies like this you have to watch it more than once to really understand and get the message if you do not understand the native language. After you get... more info

| | 9. |  | Queen Margot
from Miramax
Customer Review:
Great story. Historical and very entertaining. Acting was excellent by
Adjani and Auteuil. Virna Lisi(one of my favorite actor from the 60's)
was very good in her part as Margot's mother. I highly recommend this movie for anyone who likes history, and romance.

| | 10. |  | Freeze Die Come to Life
from Fox Lorber
Customer Review:
I must say that I am Russian, have lived in the States for the last several years, and I love art cinema. I first became aware of this Russian film and sought it out a few months ago, when I read an article in a magazine. It mentioned this film as a seminal Soviet film of the late 80's, which... more info
