In Reply to: What Russian movies have you seen and liked/disliked? posted by Dmitry on April 17, 2003 at 10:21:13:
"Solaris" was a great movie when I was in college and ran it several times for the film club (it was fairly popular: it was marketed as the "thinking person's '2001...'"). I was stoned quite a lot then, however, and now find it insufferably slow: the director, like many French ones, can't seem to realize the difference between film and literature, i.e. when a book starts to bog down, the reader can "speed it up" by reading faster. During a movie, you're helpless.
Back to your question: HIGHEST recommendations for "The Thief," and "Burnt by the Sun."
