Imperial Fatigue 3. Nikita Mikhalkov's Barber of Siberia.

As part of the annual convention for the American Association for
the Advancement of Slavic Studies (AAASS), the University of
Pittsburgh will screen Russian director Nikita Mikhalkov's latest
film, _Barber of Siberia_, at 8 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 22, 2002, in
the auditorium of Alumni Hall (across the street from the
Cathedral of Learning).

Russian director Nikita Mikhalkov's latest film, _Barber of Siberia_ (1998),
is an historical epic set in the Russian Empire in the early 1890s during
the
reign of Tsar Aleksandr III (played by Mikhalkov in a cameo appearance),
and framed by events in the Unites States immediately prior to the
beginning of the First World War.   The film--staring Julia Ormond, Richard
Harris, and Oleg Men'shikov--traces the romantic relationship between a
young Russian military cadet and an American adventuress.  She arrives in
Russia in the company of her patron, who is trying to sell his latest
invention to the Russian government: a machine capable of leveling the
impenetrable forests in Siberia.
