Stalinist Russia, circa 1930, is recreated in this Russian-French film that focuses on a small, elite gathering of family and friends who appreciate the idealism of Stalin's visions because they do not have to experience its darker side of gulags and purges. The story focuses upon a single day in Soviet revolutionary hero Serguei Kotov's life. Kotov lives an idyllic country life with his lovely wife Maroussia, and their feisty daughter Nadia. He is highly respected by the locals. On this day, the Kotovs are visited by the roguishly handsome Dimitri, who was a former lover of Maroussia. Dimitri is on a dark mission that may have profound effects on Kotov's peaceful, happy, and idealistic existence. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

| If one is a history buff, this movie needs to be viewed more than once as it is filled with sceens and nuances that take an intimate, almost insiders look, into post-Revolutionary Russia. This movie is a world only a Russian and a great director could have recreated, allowing one a glimpse at the unhappy Soviet mixing of pre-Revolutionaly classes (inteligencia and "the others")as well as the fragile world, based of pretence of tolerance and goodwill, created therafter. |

Excellent, well written, beautifully acted. An interesting look at the Idylic Russian middle class country life in the Stalin Era. Playful, happy family scenes depicted with a subtle yet growing threat.
This Stalin Era film is dedicated to all those who were "burnt by the sun of the revolution." |
