Glad you liked it... we did too, although I was not sure if it would resonate with a Westerner. Apparently it will with some.
There are several very poignant sub-stories to the film, the major with burnt face was great, so was the guy who volunteered to the front... extremely palpable performance. The drill sergeant... kind of bring back the hand grenade episode from The Mirror.
Definitely look into Todorovsky the director.
Follow Ups:
talent, this I can tell from the choices he made, what he omitted.
Man, that Elzabeta actress (the mom of the babe with which Petyr was infatuated) is a stunning actress. She says more with her eyes than anyone in memory.
That actress - Inna Churikova - is indeed a very special talent, she is extremely respected in Russia.
BTW - Todorovsky did not direct this film, he wrote the original novel. But he made many excellent movies.
directing.
I understand his son, Valeri, was the producer.
I couldn't find any evidence to the contrary?
I've sent the discs back to Netflix so I can't check the credits.
Are you sure about the direction?
Also, both Todorovskys have directed many films.
Which of the two are you strongly recommending?
I believe the director's name is Andrei Kavun.
Among the Todorovsky's films, I would try to get these:
War-Time Romance
Through Main Street with an Orchestra
Encore, Once More Encore!
What a Wonderful Game
Among his son's films:
The Country of Deaf People
The Lover
Did you see Gorod Zero?
only has The Cadets and The Lover.
I still have lots of other Russian films on my list, however.
Incidentally, in the latest issue of The New Yorker, there's a very interesting article about Tolstoy, his great novel, and a comparison of several translations. Informative, well-written, and thought-provoking.
