This film is transcendent. The cinematography is beautiful. The shots of Moscow are dramatic and wonderful - all the more amazing when you consider that this is the first western film to be made in Russia since the ongoing collapse (at that time) of the USSR.The soundtrack is stunning. Listen to it. This is music that could stand on its own, given the chance. Buy the soundtrack disk. If you are like me, it will haunt you for years.Most importantly, the story line is terrific. The transformation of Barley Blair from a slacker boozer to a man driven to create a safe haven for his dearest love, no matter what the cost, is amazing. If only we all had such courage - the world would be a far better place.Watch this film. It is good.
