It seems Russians are in no hurry to tell or explain anything . . . .

It is definitely a cultural thing. If a novel has a 1000 page requirement then their films certainly emulate that. 8^)

One of the Russian classics I saw recently had a very uptick pace as it followed its characters through an event filled story: 'The Rider Named Death'. It's about a professional assassin in 1912 Russia whose political party (not communist) believes in violent revolution. Well acted, interesting.

"Rider Named Death" indeed was excellent. That lead actor's been in other very good films. nt - tinear 13:52:10 11/04/12 (2)
