"Burnt By The Sun" is about friendship and betrayal in the 1930's Stalin Terrors. It won the 1994 Oscar for "Best Foreign Language Film". You must see this movie.Movie Review: Mint condition, not just New
Summary: 5 Stars
Talk about new dondition. It seems like this video was touch only by gloved hands. It is in MINT condition. Wow!! I'm totally impressed.
I really will continue buying from this company. Also, this was delivered even before things I ordered before it. I'm still waiting on 4 videos that I ordered about a week before this one. I really recommend this company if you want to get your videos fast and in the condition stated by the company.
Movie Review: 3 stars out of 4
Summary: 4 Stars
The Bottom Line:
Burnt by the Sun is overlong and slow at times, but well-made and worth watching for those interested in Russian history and/or cinema; it may not suck viewers in but it does tell an interesting and sad story that you'll remember.
Movie Review: Highest Quality
Summary: 5 Stars
This excellent movie is beautifully photographed, deeply affecting, intricate but clear, and it illustrates the monstrous abuse a totalitarian government perpetrates upon its citizens and their heroic battles against it. I highly recommend it.
Summary of Burnt by the Sun [VHS]
Russian filmmaker Nikita Mikhalkov is also the star of this tragic 1994 drama about the last happy season in the life of a Bolshevik hero's family. The year is 1936, and Stalin's purges are in full swing. Despite his reputation and revolutionary record, Sergei Kotov (Mikhalkov) seems to be on the dictator's hit list, as indicated by the insulting arrival of his wife's former lover, an agent of government police. Mikhalkov treats all this as a matter of personal and political intrigue dropping like rotting fruit in the middle of a sunny and loving period for the Kotov clan. The director ingeniously understates the mounting threat until one begins to realize that the Kotovs are only geographically distant from the long, bloody reach of Stalin. By the time we do realize it, the shock of change is almost unbearable. A very fine movie all around, though Mikhalkov's touches of magic realism (particularly the presence of a golden orb that keeps popping into the action) are distracting and a subject of controversy among viewers. --Tom KeoghRussia Video
