Dmitry,

I appreciate the recommendations of all. Thanks.

Dmitry, I didn't mean to be sacrcastic or denigrating regarding Russian humour as my Russian friends here in Los Angeles are as funny and fun-loving as anyone I've ever known- and absolutely devesating chess palyers, but after seeing so many Russian movies over many years, I realized I had never seen a filmed Russian comedy.

This is true of Swedish film too.

I think that movies from certain regions become known in a certain genre and become so very strongly associated that only the expected ones are widely distributed in cinemas. We wouldn't expect kung-fu movies from India, Danish terrorists taking over the Vatican, or Italian space adventures, but they are probably still made.

Cheers,

Bambi B
