'THE HERITAGE OF LOVE'
WAR EPIC WITH DIMA BILAN
Something I know you always love, today - international movies Sunday! Starting with a beautiful movie coming from Mother Russia THE HERITAGE OF LOVE (also known as Geroy or Hero in Russia) which played in domestic cinemas this spring and is awaiting international release starring Russian pop star Dima Bilan and Svetlana Ivanova. The sprawling epic is based on a true story set against Russian Revolution.
TILL THE END OF TIME
In 2016. Andrey Kulikov (Dima Bilan) goes to Paris to visit the grave
of his great grandfather, Andrey Dolmatov, who had been an officer in
the White Army during the Russian Revolution. On the headstone of the
grave next to his great grandfather's, he notices the face of a young
woman. Later, while walking through Paris, Andrey sees a woman, Vera (Svetlana Ivanova),
who looks just like the young woman he had seen on the headstone. And
so begins the telling of two love stories, separated by three
generations and one hundred years.

Both sound quite pleasant!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,
-Kati
glad you think so!
DeleteWhat a treat today! They both sound lovely! Thank you!
ReplyDeletethese posts that I do myself without following the daily news often become the most popular ones :)
DeleteBoth do sound good, the last one might be a tad girlie for me though?
ReplyDeletebut funny enough to watch, no?
DeleteAh, Dujardin...♥
ReplyDeletehe is ever so nice in this one
DeleteLove at First Height seems fun to watch.
ReplyDeletethe trailer certainly looks adorable
DeleteHeritage of Love looks fantastic. The settings are so opulent and the colours vibrant. Contrast those with the darkness of the war scenes and you really get the feel of how horrid war is. Good to see they have subtitles.
ReplyDeleteWe is still in firecracker hell here. Peoples in the neighbourhood are setting them off all night, till 2:00 a.m. My little dog Luna is terrified of the noise. She shakes so badly and is stressed to the point of exhaustion. One more day of this nonsense then it will be over.
Hope they will distribute it worldwide, it seems like a movie that would find audience everywhere. Not sure if Dima is good in the role, he is kind of a prissy pop star :) but the rest of it certainly looks epic!
DeleteI immediately thought of the doggies... I can imagine what hell it is for them... and for the people who have little kids or babies... I know that many people here have phobias from bangs and explosions because we remember all the bombs we were bombed with over the years.... I'd personally punish everyone who uses a firecracker by sticking one into their bottoms and lighting it....
Firecrackers would have to be traumatic for a lot of you guys. The horror of what happened doesn't ever quite leave I don't think.
DeleteIf I were to stick a firecracker up each of these persons bum's I'd be out all night.
Novak Djokovic, our tennis player, world Number One, just said recently that he and his wife still wake up in the middle of the night when there is a thunder storm thinking of bombs, even though he lives in Monte Carlo! I carry traumas only from dog barks, not from bombs.... I survived that shite quite well, methinks, I was like, oh, Lord, if a bomb is gonna fall upon me, just be precise and smash me well :)
DeleteSounds like a plan for you and Fang, deary :) Don't forget to mask yourself
I need to see Up for Love. Please find your way to Jamaica, please!
ReplyDeleteyou can always find it at Torrents and download it, it's not illegal, you know....
DeleteBoth of these sound great. Being a tall woman (and actually the shortest of my sisters and my aunt), I get the height thing. I have four sons, ranging from 6' to 6'6". :D
ReplyDeleteI don't get the inches, but I'm guessing it is very tall? :)
DeleteFor me Dima Bilan is the best Eurovision Winner. So powerful voice and open heart. A professional - too much work, new performances and songs, and acting in a movie!!! By the way he is engaged in charity.

the Belgrade Eurovision was probably the best organized one, the best stage and also the biggest number of hits.
DeleteI am always up for a good love story. Both of these look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI think we'd enjoy both
DeleteI don't watch too many war movies, but this one looks good. I'd love to see Up For Love with that storyline.
ReplyDeleteboth are great, are not they?
DeleteBeing a blue romantic, I'm hopeful that this movie will be added to my collection.
ReplyDeletefingers crossed
DeleteI know it's gonna suck. I can feel it.
Deleteit won't French romcoms are always great
