Thanks for the recommendation. As the West continues to isolate itself from the Sino-Russian alliance, we should take the opportunity to appreciate the artistic contributions from the other side before they are totally suppressed.
John recently posted The Putin Interviews by Oliver Stone. In the second episode, Putin watches Stanley Kubrick’s classic, Dr. Strangelove, for the first time. Seeing this made me realize I have probably missed out on some great Russian and Chinese films. I am wondering if anyone can suggest Russian or Chinese movies that are worth watching, especially those that exemplify the culture of those nations or offer a different perspective on historical events? The TV shows sound interesting but I am not sure I can commit to a long series.
