If this is a sample of what the Russian film industry is producing lately, I am wondering why we're not importing more of there stuff. This is so much better than anything Hollywood has produced on the topic in ages, that it makes a lot of out domestic film making look utterly wussy. This was intelligent, interesting, well shot, and original. I loved the clever design of the subtitles so that they added to the look and mood of the film. They don't just lie there, they are designed and use of colour, style, and effects added meaning an emphasis to the spoken word. Go see it, please. We want to encourage them to import the sequel when it comes out, and more movies like this. Seriously. If we can get them into general distribution and they make real money, it might challenge Hollywood to raise the quality of our domestic product. If not? We would still be getting cool genre films from other countries. It's win/win folks.
