A klutzily earnest early-1990s documentary on the changes in Russian society around the time of perestroika, Bread and Salt is hosted and narrated by Irina Muravyova, who emigrated to Boston in the middle-1980s and returned in 1991 with scholar Richard Lourie. She marvels at the changes in the society, visits her mother's grave and meets her friends, sees a faith healer outside Moscow and generally just observes. She's a fairly melodramatic host. Lourie is more fun, but we see less of him. The documentary is educational but scarcely riveting.
