Komissar is good, and Grossmann's story has more than one true story behind it. My grandmother was adopted in 1920 by a Jewish family in about the same places - except that the parents were fleeing for Crimea away from the Reds (survived and returned a few years later) and the foster family's sons died - one in the Reds, one in the Jew militia. Weird times. It is strange that those shtetls survived when waves of Reds, Whites, etc. chased each other over the steppe.Zero is, well, zero... But must be more available than the rest, given the director's current rank.
For true surreal 1984 art - see Parad Planet. This one you won't find easily. (http://www.podsolnuh.ru/movies/Parad_planet/).
Follow Ups:
Not a bad film, interesting in several spots. The episode with women was the best part, even if detrived from the Rublev's scenes. It really had something going.The rest was quite uneven and with too much of Bunuel flavor borrowed. Not too much in your face, mind you.
Overall definitely an interesting work, but more interesting than the Zero? I don't think so. I would rate them about the same.
Agree on both counts.
Zero was nice, but completely forgettable.
As to finding Parad Planet, if you have 10 bucks to spare :http://www.rbcmp3.com/store/product.asp?dept_id=3015&sku=8487
***Zero is, well, zero...I told my wife what you said about that film... you don't want to know what she said about you... I didn't know she could curse like that... a esche intelligentnaia zhenschina!
