In Reply to: Russian film recommendations, excluding Eisenstein? posted by mishmashmusic on January 13, 2005 at 12:16:39:
We have gone through these many times before - I would ask you to search on my name, on Dmitry and perhaps clark with keywords like Russian, Soviet. Then if you could build a list this way, we could look at it and perhaps to it?I presume you already have War and Peace, Crime and Punishment, Karamazov Brothers on your list? Problem is in knowing which ones have been translated.
But things like Komissar, Beg would be interesting. Then there are many that the West will probably never see, things like Beregis avtomobilya, Zigzag Udachi and Garage, that represent some of the best of the comedies. Ne Goriyi and Mimino, and virtually any other film by Danelia are highly recommended.
If you feel like entering the world of "new" Russian cinema, where many underworld and criminal films dominate, then Tycoon is a must, and then the recent Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor) had created a stir.
See, you dragged me into making the list, but let me bail out at this point.
Or are you really looking for more classic works? But man, this is a huge subject.
Follow Ups:
I know it's a stupid question.Maybe a short list (10) of Vic's "Must Sees" is what I'm after.
You know of course I didn't think it was stupid... just a very difficult one, given how bad I am with lists.But let me try. I will start with directors, and then perhaps select one film from each. In no particular order.
Bondarchuk - War and Peace. A must.
Tarkovsky - Andrey Rublev
Georgy Danelia - Ne Goriui, or Mimino, or Osennii Marafon
Alexandr Sokurov - Russian Ark
Alexandr Askoldov - Komissar
Sergei Paradjanov - Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors or The Color of Pomegranates
Nikita Mikhalkov - Burnt by the Sun
Piotr Mamonov - Taxi Blues
Iosif Khejfits - The Lady with the Dog
Vladimir Motyl - White Desert Sun
Alexei Batalov - Shinel
Tengiz Abuladze - Repentance
Vassili Pitchul - Little Vera
Alexandr Zarkhi - Anna Karenina
Alexandr Rogozhkin - The Cuckoo
Yuri Mamin - Okno v Parizh, or any other
All these are good, and most available here.
As I said, I was not trying to build the 10 Best Russian Films list.
It will certainly give you a good start... plus... I still urge you to do a search here, and I am sure I forgot some we already discussed before.
Thanks.I'm just itching to venture out a little, and I needed a place to start. This will certainly do the trick...
