Russian movie for third-year students

[Sarah Krive]

Have you seen/heard of the film "Strana glukhikh"?  It is a
"thriller" that catapulted the star (whose name I can't recall) into
instant stardom in, I think, 1998.  It has a lot of up-close shots of
people speaking slowly articulated Russian, too.  For its genre, it's
actually quite good.  I only know of it on PAL; perhaps a video store
carries it in VHS.

Regards,

Sarah Krive
