SPUTNIK RUSSIAN FILM FESTIVAL

 ЛЕДОКОЛ (THE ICEBREAKER)

Recommended. Shot in Saint Petersburg, Murmansk and Sevastopol. Kept me on the edge of my seat. A little known picture of Cold War from the other side of the Iron Curtain with good attention to detail. The Soviet state impact on the stuck icebreaker is greater than that of the iceberg near the Antarctic. Details are emphasized not only in the scenography but in the action too. Most of all, it's a gripping thriller. Also a chance to hear a few good Russian songs, including the one over the credits.
