Film Question - US and Russia in Each Other's Films

[Harris, Adrienne M.]

Dear Ben, Again, if you are open to Ukraine (both Russian-speaking and Ukrainian-speaking), you might be interested in "Everything is Illuminated."  Students love it.  The film addresses some Ukrainian misconceptions and stereotypes of Americans and it's based on a novel written by an American.

Dear Ben,

Taxi Blues (1990) is another possibility, though Americans aren't really the focus.

If you are open to including Russian-speaking Ukraine, "The Chernobyl Diaries" (2012) might be a crowd pleaser.

All best,

Justin Wilmes

Dear Colleagues:

I'm putting together a series of US and Russian films that depict both cultures.  I have a couple of Russian films to start with - Brat 2, American Daughter, Barber of Siberia - but I'd appreciate suggestions of more Russian films that depict Americans and American films that depict Russian characters and Russian culture.  All I'm coming up with are these:

Rocky 4
Russia House
Sneakers
Moscow on the Hudson
Red Dawn
The Russians Are Coming
Dr Strangelove

Thanks for any suggestions you may offer.

Sincerely,

Ben Rifkin
