Russian film "LEVIATHAN" Last Friday I was watching Russian movie "Leviathan" which won "Golden Globe Awards" recently. Before I've heard from news that officials didn't noticed this evidential success of Russian cinema and that fact was really strange...After that it was clear for me that the director created something really extraordinary film which can provoke different people's feelings and oppinions...So I have watched it ...I was shaken...It was not shock because of unprintable language and constant drinking of main characters...I know, people who have the same life and get into trouble like they did, behave the same way...What was stricken for me is that it was shown spiritual impoverishment of family and society...despite beautiful ostantetious development of Orthodox Church most of comon people who are from former Soviet Union don't have faith in their hearts...that is why main hero lose everything and is not able to find anything which could support him....It's a very true, deep and sad story described by talanted director A.Zvyagensev.

Russian film "LEVIATHAN"

Last Friday I was watching the russian movie "Leviathan" which recently won a "Golden Globe Award" recently. Before I've had heard from on the news that officials didn't hadn't noticed the evidential success of russian cinema and that fact was really strange...After that it was clear for me that the director created something really extraordinary film which can provoke different people's feelings and oppinions...So I have watched it ...I was shaken... It was not shocking because of unprintable inapropriatelanguage and the constant drinking of the main characters...I know, people who have the same life and get into trouble like they did, behave in the same way...What was striking for me is was that it was shown showed the spiritual impoverishment of family (either of a family or of families) and society, despite the beautiful ostantetious development of the Orthodox Church; most of comon people who are from the former Soviet Union don't have faith in their hearts, that which is why the main hero loses everything and is not able to find anything from which he could support himself. It's a very true, deep and sad story described by the talanted director A.Zvyagensev.

Yes, I agree with you, the Russian films Брат and Брат 2 are good movies...but for me they are a little more "American" films than "Russian" if we talk how they were directed. By the way the film Сёстры directed by Sergey Bodrov (you could see him as a main hero in брат) is better for my liking. Unfortunately it was the first and the last his film due his death the year after.

Victoria covered your corrections. Leviathan was good though. I think it's up there with Брат и Брат 2 as my favourite Russian movie.
