Dmitriy Kiselev’s overlooked Russian thriller is an exciting and inspirational true account of the first walk in space by a Soviet cosmonaut — a mission that nearly became a tragedy. It’s almost as emotional an experience as Apollo 13 — the worthy cosmonauts demonstrate ‘the right stuff’ under much more trying conditions. The beautifully produced and splendidly acted show makes it seem a crime that foreign movies this good are routinely denied theatrical exhibition here. The Blu-ray comes with an excellent pair of featurettes, with the participation of the original spacewalker Alexey Leonov.

You all remember this title, right? But we are here today to talk about Burnt by the Sun 2, or, a sequel to well known Nikita Mikhalkov’s 1994 film.
Burnt By The Sun 2: Exodus
This Russian drama film is scheduled to compete for the Golden Palm at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival.
It’s a World War II epic with a budget of 55 million dollars, which makes it the most expensive Russian film ever since Soviet times! The sequel was divided into 2 parts: Burnt by the Sun 2: Exodus and Burnt by the Sun 3: The Citadel.
So, the film is about an aged professor and his wife, the pre-revolutionary intellectuals, and of a military leader, the hero of the Bolshevik revolution and Civil War, as well of his young wife and charming little daughter. There is also a family friend-turned traitor and executioner of the family.
A summer day of 1936 begins carelessly and calmly,...

At the recent Russian Resurrection Film Festival, the organisers introduced a critics' jury, comprised of film critics, academics and filmmakers. And the inaugural prize went to Ward No. 6. One of the members of the jury, Filmink's own Julian Wood provides a film review below. Ward No. 6 Time 83 minutes Country Russia Directors Aleksandr Gornovsky, Karen Shakhnazarov Cast Vladimir Ilyin, Aleksei Vertkov, Aleksandr Pankratov-Chyorny Distributor Russian Resurrection Film Festival Worth $15.00/$15.50 Small is beautiful. Although a mere 83 minutes long Aleksandr Gornovsky and Karen Shakhnazarov's psychological drama packs a big punch. Largely this is down to the winning performance of veteran Russian character actor Vladimir Ilyrin as the protagonist Ragin (in the same year Ilyrin was in the acclaimed epic Taras Bulba).
