Have you seen/heard of the film "Strana glukhikh"? It is a
"thriller" that catapulted the star (whose name I can't recall) into
instant stardom in, I think, 1998. It has a lot of up-close shots of
people speaking slowly articulated Russian, too. For its genre, it's
actually quite good. I only know of it on PAL; perhaps a video store
carries it in VHS.
