Ok, but why did you say (in thread title) we won't ever see it?

Because it will never be shown in US or UK.
Maybe in Germany or France - they are more tolerant of non-Holywood production.

When did you Last see a russian movie ? And there are a lot of very good, believe me but they will never shown in the West - no happy ending, no waving of US flag and why bother to translate that slavic gibberish??

I think it will be a second screening of Valentin Pikul's book. First one was "Bayazet" and it was awfull. Hope this attempt will be better.

"Why, oh, why russian movies unknown to western audience!" - compare "Solaris" by Tarkovsky and Last Sodenberg rubbish and everything will be clear. (You may also compare them both with original Lem's book and you'll understand who is the best sci-fi writer of XX century).

Oleg,

I live in Norfolk Virignia, US. If you are ever in the area you should check out the Naro cinema and video rental store. Why? becuase they are simply amazing in their selection. Specifically, they have an entire bookshelf of hundreds (4-500) of movies from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, etc.. I admit I haven;t yet rented any of them, but I will at some point...in any case, my point is: all is not lost! There are outlets and audiences for Slavic Cinema in the US!

thanks,

Alarik
