| User ReviewStafford BFantastic movie - a 'must see' movie if you want to understand Russians more and just a damned good watch even if you don't! |
| User ReviewSergey MMy favourite movie. I've watched it dozens of times (I really watch it several times a year). |
| User ReviewMustafa Syeah it's an eastern movie having political aspects. it tells us that civil war was not only against 'whites' but fundamentalism and patriarchy as well. it's song 'vashe blogoradie' is wonderful too. btw, reviewers; please correct yourselves. it's a 'soviet' movie, not a 'russian' one. |
| User ReviewPrivate UBrilliant "Ostern" the main character is so cool, especially the way he shoots. Great songs too. Top movie! |
| User ReviewDaniel MA wonderful action/comedy from Russia, inspired by American westerns. The irony is that it takes place in the Russian east. |
| User ReviewGregor YClassic Russian "western", a total cult classic of Soviet cinema. |
| User ReviewXose RA nice mix of adventure, commedy, surrealism and still many dramatic moments. |
| User ReviewPeter BVery funny, Russian version of "Lawrence of Arabia". The bigamist fantasy was genius. |
