Summary List of Russian Films with American Content

[Mark Schrad]

Of course there's also Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange" (based on the Anthony Burgess book), which I don't think has any Russian characters per se, but does utilize a lot of Russian slang in an argot called "Nadsat."

Also, in the much-lesser-known-movies category, there are the two different 1980s film adaptations (and a TV series) called "Whoops! Apocalypse" which have some slapstick depictions of Russians, most notably by Alexei Sayle, who also portrayed a variety of different Russian characters in the short-lived 1980s punk sitcom "The Young Ones."

Subject: [SEELANGS] Summary List of Russian Films with American Content

Dear Colleagues:

I was unable to post the list to SEELANGs because it is too long.  SEELANGers had a lot to say on this topic!

I therefore created a website, hosted by my unit on campus, at this address:

http://hss.pages.tcnj.edu/american-films-with-russian-content/

When you access the information, if it is valuable to you, please copy the text and save it to your own files, as I will not be able to maintain this page on our school's website indefinitely.

I extend my sincere and profound thanks to all those who sent me suggestions, especially Helena Goscilo.

With best wishes,

Ben Rifkin
