I hated the Island

There is currently mud slide of movies promoting Russian nationalism, and I have strong distaste for them.

That, coupled with Putin and his communist scum buddies all crossing their chests in churches really makes me puke. Once again we are seeing the resurrection of that disgusting chauvinistic spirit - but if you take the film in isolation, without putting it into the context of the current events, and also the personalities involved, it might look differently.

BTW, its director, Pavel Lungin, is a very interesting man. He is the son of the perhaps most preeminent literature translator in modern Russian history (and she did a wonderful documentary on her life, which is incredibly interesting on its own), and perhaps best known for his Taksi-Blyuz movie, which I strongly recommend.
