...even though I am not his great fan (but I loved his work in the Barbarians). Together with Steve's "Baxter" and Gnat's "Winter Cherry" and "Okhota". Tried to rent the last two but they were out again. So rented three others, and boy, what a depressing viewing. A Russian kolknoznik running a little harem under the nose of Party leaders (with nice babes, to be sure...), plus a rich spoiled American (a Russian emmigree) girl trying to jump out of the window because she couldn't get the heart of a commited Russian family man - although she managed to get some good sex from him. Too bad she had underestimated how bad and broken those Soviet-style window latches were - she couldn't open it fast enough, so the guards cought up with her and brought her back to comfortable reality. Don't worry, she is OK now, somewhere in LA. The guy shows his middle finger to all that Western decadence and delves back into the belly of the post-perestroyka chaos and misery.But not all lost. My wife wanted to see some Bergman, so we watched again the Scenes from a Marriage. You get absorbed all along, but at the end the only question remaining is "What's the point?".
Also saw the Samurai - two parts out of three. A borderline entertainment. Naive and cliche, but still enjoyable with great camera work at times.
