Eisenstein and Vertov are your guys

Eisenstein for gloom and Vertov for comedy... :)

I am sure you love Ivan the Terrible. I guess too much good thing in life makes one long for depressing and dehumanizing films.

I think most people will consider the Island slow "Russian" torture. Funny that through the years Bergman was treated as the anathema, presented as quintessentially anti-humanist villain of the decadent Western cinema, all the while right there, under the nose of the authorities the darkness the likes of which the world rarely had seen, was alive and well and growing.

The Russian soul is dark and unfriendly.
