SEELANGS Digest - 10 Feb 2012 to 11 Feb 2012 (#2012-44)

[B Krizenesky]

 I would like to recommend the film, Неадекватные Люди, (2011), which I watched with an advanced conversation class over several weeks last fall. It is billed as a comedy and does have some comedic moments, but really provides many pertinent themes for substantial conversation.  Vitaliy is a serious, 30-ish guy who moves to Moscow to get away from a traumatic event in his life.  The film focuses on the friendship that develops between him and a very intelligent high school girl who lives next door, Kristina. They are both misfits of sorts, thus the title. The subtitles are high quality.

Dear all,

We would like to replenish our Russian film library at Vanderbilt U and are
looking for film suggestions.  Could you please advise us on recent Russian
films that you think would be of interest and value to students?  These
films have to have English subtitles.

Much obliged for your collective help.

Best,
Sasha Spektor

"porazgovarivat'" as described below actually recalls the "perfective
imperfects" in Old Church Slavonic.

It is noteworthy that T.F. Yefremova's three-volume "Sovremennyy tolkovyy
slovar' russkogo yazyka" (2006) gives the verb as "sov. neperekh. razg."
and defines it thusly: "V techenie nekotorogo vremeni predat'sya
razgovoram."
