Films for Course on Imperial Russian History?

[David Powelstock]

Dear SEELANGers,

A friend of mine is teaching a course on imperial Russian history and asked me for ideas as to films she might show. There are lots of film adaptations of 19th-c. literary works, of course, but I'd be interested to know which of these SEELANGers think might be particularly interesting from the standpoint of imperial history beyond costuming. I thought of "Russian Ark," but students would need to be very well prepared in order to appreciate it's historical dimension. For late imperial I mentioned Bauer's "Child of the Big City." I'd be grateful for ideas that I could pass on.

Best wishes,
David Powelstock
