Nice
Plus if you are not in an a t m o s p h e r i c mood, you can watch Moscow - Cassiopeia (kids space film) and Kuryer (coming of age comedic drama in EOL CCCP) instead.
And then The War of the Worlds: Next Century with Iron Idem for dark comedy that's even less a fan of Soviet stuff
I have watched all of those this week except Golem and they are great despite the low budget production. It's amazing that those were recorded under authoritarianism and are more liberal than our present age movies and supposedly liberal/democratic society.
The society and the media in "The War of the Worlds: Next Century", if you ignore the martians and the blood thing does remind me of Russia and China today.
This is an excellent resource. Lots of great films on here. Piotr Szulkin is on here as well, for anyone into sci-fi. I've been looking for some of these films for awhile...
