It is very good, but kind of what you expect from a good Russian director - the war theme is one of the most important in the Soviet cinema, and they made many good films, usually with no artificiality so common in the Western war films... I guess if you keep doing something then you are bound to eventually become good at it. :) Even their propaganda-laden ones often speak the truth... with some exceptions.

They also made quite a few lighthearted war comedies, but I doubt these would show well here, they are too deeply rooted in the popular culture of that period - mainly their stars.

A few years ago, you mentioned to me a whole bunch of excellent Russian films, but the problem was they didn't - tinear 06:57:58 06/07/14 (1)
have subtitles. Netflix doesn't carry any of them, either.
Very frustrating!

  Someone somewhere decides which movies to release to our market. Overall we are doing pretty good, but yes, more foreign films on Netflix would be great. However, this is market working.
