Hello everyone A wonderful week of viewing so many great reviews and recs Thanks....
A shout out for two Soviet Classics which highlighted a week of top European Classic viewing down here in OZ ...
Ballada o Beringe i ego druzyakh (1971) Yuri Shvyryov
Based on factual detail, the Ballad of Bering and His Friends is a marvellous adventure drama, an exciting historical account of the very first Russian naval scientific expeditions. Vitus Bering (1681-1741) was selected by the Tsar to captain the First Kamchatka Expedition.
It was an expedition which began in St Petersburg with the explorers planning to sail north from far eastern Russian outposts on the Kamchatka Peninsula.
Their aim was to establish whether Asia and America physically share a land border or whether they are separated by sea. Beginning in the court of Peter the Great the fascinating true story is an absorbing tale of service, adventure, hardship and discovery. Composed in widescreen B&W the film is beautifully crafted with fine period detail and highlights some breathtaking natural wonders.
With a cast of characters taken straight from the documented journals, some of which have Islands, Peaks and Seas named in their honour. The Ballad of Bering and His Friends is a not only an exciting adventure tale it offers a fascinating insight into the exploration of this harsh, wild remote region. Highly Recommend Soviet Classic Cinema...
Ne boysya, ya s toboy , Don't worry, I'm with you!...(1981) Yuliy Gusman
A fabulous Soviet Azerbaijani co-production overflowing each of the listed genres with exciting Action, rousing Adventure, light-hearted Comedy, wonderful Music and touching Romance, non-stop entertainment from start to finish. With spontaneous outbursts of song and instrumental, each beautifully filmed scene captivates with wondrous delight. Magnificent natural landscapes portray a spectacular scenic backdrop. An outstanding cast features two companion characters. Philosophical San Sanych (Lev Durov) is a true friend who surprises with some incredible martial arts and skilled performer Rustam (Mukhtar-bek Kantemirov) was a real life professional ring entertainer from a famous family of circus horse riders. Here the handsome, mild mannered Ossetian showcases some spectacular talents, he was also highly proficient at throwing target knives & axes. An exceptional film is as the translated title suggests... an uplifting story of friendship, of righteousness and kindness. Highly Recommended Soviet Classic .!!
