Torpedo bombers (1983) (English subtitles).



Torpedo bombers (1983) (English subtitles).

The film is based on short stories by Russian writer Yuri Guerman. The year of 1944. The Second World War. A marine air force regiment is stationed at a small airfield. For the pilots, this is both the front and the rear. They live here with their families, leading a seemingly normal life, giving small parties and even attending concerts of touring artistes. And yet, any operational flight may prove to be the last one in their life... The film incorporates the unique wartime documentaries, which were filmed, on the one side, by the British, and on the other side - by the German camera men. This work was done at a time when the German bombers attacked the British caravan of freight ships sailing due Murmansk under the Lend-Lease Act. On the British part, the filming was done by a camera man sailing on board of one of the attacked ships. On the German part, there was a camera operator flying with the pilot of one of the bombers...

Dedicated to the pilots of the Red Banner Northern Fleet.

My Friend Ivan Lapshin (1984) (English subtitles).



My Friend Ivan Lapshin (1984) (English subtitles).

Alexei German's third film as director is based on stories written by his father, prominent author Yuri German. The mostly black-and-white film begins with a present-day color sequence, then reverts to monochrome and the freezing winter of 1935, when the narrator was nine years old. The boy lived in an apartment with his father and two other men, Police Chief Ivan Lapshin and his officious underling. The story focuses on Lapshin as he tracks down a gang of crooks in his provincial Russian village, helps his recently widowed friend, and enters into a tentative relationship with an actress. Capable direction by German and a talented ensemble cast make this detailed look at the pre-purge Soviet Union both entertaining and richly rewarding.

Pirates of the XXth Century (1979) (English subtitles).

The action of this adventure film follows a real-life story. A Soviet vessel was carrying a cargo of the opium for pharmacological industry. The present-day pirates, going after a rich loot, had treacherously captured the ship and its crew. Unwilling to leave any witnesses of their armed assault, the pirates tried to eliminate the whole crew. A fierce mid-ocean fight ensued between a handful of Soviet sailors and the modern-day bandits that knew no mercy. The well-known karate specialists participated in the shooting. Judging by box-office figures, at the time of its release the film had been viewed by every third moviegoer.

Taxi Blues (1990) (English subtitles).



Taxi Blues is an excellent work and very well transcends the chaotic atmosphere in Russia during the late Perestroika period, and prior to the break-up of the Soviet Union itself. The relationship between two main characters represents bipolar parts of the Russian society, and shows degradation of the social fabric.
A taxi driver in Moscow named Shlykov gets stiffed of his fare by the saxophone player named Lyosha who calls himself a genius who "speaks to God". Shlykov tracks down Lyosha and takes his saxophone and that is when the plot begins...

The Flight (1970) (English subtitles). Part 2/2.



This film is based on works by the Russian writer Mikhail Bulgakov. The 1920s Civil War in Russia. Routed by the Red Army, the panic-stricken White Guards were fleeing the country. Like a headlong avalanche, they carried along those who wouldn't accept the new power. Among many who fled abroad from the Crimea were Roman Khludov, head of the general staff of Wrangel's Army, a hangman and executioner; Sergei Golubkov, a university professor; Serafima Korzukhina, wife of a St. Petersburg business man who renounced her to save his own skin, and others. Their lives in a foreign land took different turns, but they were all destined to go through a bitter re-evaluation of their former ideals and personal dramas.
One of the world's best screen adaptations of M. Bulgakov's prose -- his novels "The Flight" and "White Guard" and libretto "The Black Sea" dedicated to M. Frunze. Literary consultant of the film -- the author's widow Yelena Bulgakova.
