was terrific in C&P, as was the young actor that portrayed Rodion.
I, of course, genuflected to Smok's performnace in "Hamlet."
Thanks for the recommendations, I'll check Netflix.
I have several dozen Russian films on my up and coming N'flix list, having gone through perhaps a dozen and a half already.
I'm having a wonderful time but the Russian national personality is very hard to understand, really unlike European, American, Asian, or any other reference points.
I really wish you'd see The Second Circle. I think you may find it's the one film of that director you'd like.
