Soviet Films

What are the great films made about the Soviet Union?

Been reading about it alot recently so i'd like to see some good films related to it. Eisenstein is already on my watchlist so there's no need to mention his films. Just anything where the Soviet Union plays a major part, Russia from the (attempted) Russian Revolution of 1905 up is fine actually as long as it involves the Communists or future Communists.

Not necessarily about the Soviet Union, but it was made during the Soviet times.

I think it's kind of extremely about the Soviet Union from what i've read about it, but yeah i know that.

Thanks for Reds Inmate

You should probably tag Minio in this thread, I'm sure he'll have some good recs for you.

No tagging needed! I'm here! But too lazy to recommend! And RYM has no country tag feature (unless you make it yourself, but imagine tagging 5400 films...), so I will have to be brief and only give you one:

Zerkalo (1975)

You are suggesting Mirror and that's it?

That dang Zerkalo escaped my initial searches. Never heard of it...

Look up my highest ratings and pick Soviet films yourself. You have to earn for your good films.

Got absolutely no intention of doing work for you. I'm not that interested in your selections, i'll figure things out myself.

Not interested in minio's selections??? How dare you!

Leave my boyfriend alone!

If you haven't watched them, check Mikhail Kalatozov's films, Pudovkin's Mother, The ascent or Come and see. If you don't mind propaganda and blatant glorification of the Soviet regime, these are some of the most breathtakingly intense pieces of film ever made. Also, I'm guessing you want to restrict your search to thematic focus and not origin, if that's not the case, there's a few more Soviets I'd gladly mention.

Think i'm looking for this more than anything tbh.

Thanks Jal

This is my favorite.. I gave this a 10/10 and have a feeling you'd like this.

The Cranes Are Flying




P.S. - I was thinking about watching "Neds" today

Thanks mate. I have actually seen that and you're right i did like it, very good film. Hope you like Neds if you check it out, i didn't like it as much the second time i watched it. It's good but i do think alot of my enjoyment comes from the fact that i know neds in real life, including one of the actors in the film.

I watched the whole video
