Contemporary Movie/DVD in Ukrainian (or Russian) which is easily available in US?

[Alexandra Smith]

Dear Pat,

I think that Kira Muratova's film "Nastroischik" (The Tuner) (it was  
filmed in Odessa) is a delightful film. There is a DVD version (2004)  
that has English subtitles, I've bought it from the Amazon.co.uk a  
while ago. It's a hybrid that combines the genre of thriller with the  
genre of comedy. the atmosphere and acting are superb and are akin to  
Chekhov's plays.

All best,
Alexandra
