More Russian movies

[Dorian Juric]

Another American film depicting Russians which I've always found very interesting (and frankly horrible) is Enemy At the Gates. The film was commended for depicting the Russians' side of the war with heart and honesty and for it's realism. To me the narrative is horrible and rushed, the 'realistic and romantic' sex scene amounts to two 'Russians' rutting in a dirty pipe for thirty seconds and most excruciating of all, every Russian in the film is an Englishman (although the newspapers are in cirilica) and every German over a loud speaker speaks German, but in interactions, if I remember correctly, they're all Americans.... Very strange.

> Two that I remember from the second half of the 1950's, both with Yul Brynner.  Neither a very good movie.  Brothers Karamazov, with Yul, Maria Schell, Claire Bloom and Lee J. Cobb.  And The Journey, with Yul, Deborah Kerr and Jason Robards, with Yul a Soviet officer dealing with a bunch of foreign tourists in Budapest.  Maybe these have already been suggested.  Of course, a lot of movies have Russian themes in them, even The Third Man from 1949, with Russians in post-war Vienna.
