In June 1946, Stalin invites the Russian exiled from the 1917 Revolution to return home. When the ships comes ashore in Odessa, the passengers are divided in two groups and one of them is executed. Among the survivors are Dr. Aleksei Golovin, his French wife Marie and their young son. Marie is accused to be a spy, her French passport is torn up and Aleksei accepts to move to Kyiv with his family to save her. They are sent to a room in a communal house and soon Marie befriends the super, an old woman who speaks French. But she is denounced and killed by the government agents. Marie feels guilty and brings her grandson Sasha Vasilyev, who will be evicted, to live in her room with her family. Marie wants to return to her family in France, but Aleksei explains that they are imprisoned in Russia. Marie tries a contact with the leftist French actress Gabrielle Develay to ask for help to leave the USSR. While Marie gets distant from her husband, she gets closer to Sacha, who is a great swimmer and the only chance to Marie contact her family.
Leave your thoughts about East/West.
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekThe horrifying historical background has been transformed into a conventional melodrama, and much of it has a bogus feel. |
| Film Journal InternationalDoris ToumarkineOffering fine, if not the most eye-pleasing, production values and convincing acting, East-West and its important theme deserve attention. |
| culturevulture.netArthur LazereRecommended only for the most devoted soap fans, 'East-West' earns our early nominations both for Fuzziest-Thinking Director and for Most Pretentious Film of the Year. |
| User ReviewRosemary SBrilliant! Oleg brilliant. Atmosphere brilliantly painted, one of the most memorable movies I watched in high school. Beautifully done, one of my personal favs! |
| User ReviewDouglas Hso fucking sad. ah...what is it with communist movies and making me bawl my eyes out?!?!?....... |
| User ReviewJose GAn endearing movie that shows love in the time of Communism. |
| User ReviewPrivate Uwatched it in french and russian. pretty good i think |
| User ReviewCallie R.I was compelled to see this movie because the trailer I saw reminded me of a Solzhenitsyn novel. It was much as I had hoped. The stark background of Stalinist Russia makes the passions and longings of the characters all the more vivid. And what longing is more powerful than the desire for freedom? |
| User ReviewAngieThis is an amazing movie, very moving. I highly recommend it. |
| User ReviewEve CA powerful moving drama about a woman fighting for freedom. Based on a true story. Excellent acting cast! Must see! |
