married couple recently started translating all the "classic" Russian novels.
Serbo-Croatian???
Actually, Russian novelists get lots of respect and I'd be surprised (really shocked) if most of the regular posters here weren't familiar with Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Turgenev. That's why the lack of interest in Russian film is unexpected.
Myself, I'm interested in exploring Lithuanian film after reading about all the superb filmmakers it has produced. Unfortunately, none of the better films have been produced for export to this region. I imagine that will change; heck, you can find well-reviewed films from Bhutan now, for goodness's sake!

Rumanian cinema is said to be on a roll right now. Like this Golden Palm winner.

  Oh no! Not yet another culture...
  More seriously, thanks. (I think)
