but there were moments of it... that and lots of passion (although I'd argue that there's plenty of space between melodrama and/or passion and bloodlessly unemotional).

Loved how Boris just couldn't leave Veronica when they were saying goodnight for the first time after we meet them.

And yes, Victor's suggestions have borne a lot of fruit for me (along with Patrick and you and a few others).

I don't know if you've seen, "Come and See," but it's superb. "The Return" - tinear 06:44:39 07/22/07 (3)
also is terrific.
Russian film, it hardly bears mentioning, need genuflect to no other.
- Saw both... commented on Come and See fairly recently - sjb 07:29:27 07/22/07 (2)
  The Return is in my top 5 favorite films from the last 2 years... talk about beautiful photography!!

  - Yeah, and I even got to The Return before Victor. As for Cranes... - clarkjohnsen 10:14:29 07/23/07 (0)
    ...we have a Crane's Beach here, but it isn't in the plural...
    
    (Is that obscure?)
    
    I saw that one in the theatre when it came out and was very moved.

  - I'd also recommend the Soviet "Roads to Koktebel," and a film starring - tinear 13:03:10 07/22/07 (0)
    Soviets but directed by a Swede. "Lilya 4-ever" is a terrifying portrait of what can happen to a young, beautiful girl forced to grow up way too fast in a modern slum.
