Rabochiy posyolok (1966)
Russian neo-realism mild drama about life in a post war blue color town/settlement
Oleg Borisov performance of a blind soldier is extravagant and surprising. If you like black and white you should enjoy watching this well shot and composed piece. It is not touching upon too many things, but what it does put under a spot light is strong and believable.
Osen (1974)
Psychological expedition into man-woman relationship
A 7-day trip with a city couple that is struggling to get it's relationship straightened up. She is single, he is married. The rain never stops, leaving them inside the country shack for days to make love and talk in between. It is called "The Fall" as the season signifies the gloomy days of their love.
Soblazn (1987)
A truthful and typical post-perestrojka teenage story from Russia
The movie struck me as very realistic. It caught somehow the atmosphere of a big Russian city. Don't expect to see much of landscapes in this movie. It's all apartments, hallways, school classrooms, evening streets. The story rotates around one girl and her first experiences of love. The teenage actors are very natural. There is not much drama in the story but the viewer feels disturbed, nevertheless. The story is typical, unpretentious and that's the best thing about this film.
