Amazing the amount of period pieces Russia makes. I got to see Janissary with Spanish subtitles so with patience, one gets to them. They still beat the crap of the fugly western period drama crammed with presentisms.
ReplyDeleteThey need to raise the spirit of the nation, so thus so many historical projects, plus they are a proud nation which takes energy from its history.
DeleteI am jealous you got to see Janissary. I miss llya Malakof so much.
Normally I'd skip a musical, but I bet I'd like this one. You've got me interested in all the Russian works lately.
ReplyDeleteThey do like to shoot them in great number.
