Thread: Soviet Film Compilation?

Hello,

Does anyone happen to know of a Soviet film compilation DVD or set of DVDs?

It would be nice to obtain some sort of library of the most popular movies from the 50's through the 70's.

I like Ironia Sud'bi, Sherlock Holmes, Nikita Mikhalkov's "White Russian" movies, Chelovek Amphibia, and other films such as these.

I also enjoy the newer movies and serials, but those are easily obtained.

If you do not know where I might obtain a set or compilation of these types of movies, then can you recommend some?

Thank you

Hi Andrei,

I don't know whether it exists - if I find out it does, I'll be the first to buy it!

The best source I've found so far is Moskwood, a small Dutch business that reedits classic movies, and they have a soft spot for Russia.
Have a look:

Much of it is only in Dutch - if you need help, feel free to PM me.

Also: I know you said 50's-70's.... but if you're cinema-interested, don't pass by Eisenstein, Dovzhenko, Pudovkin, Vertov, etc. Their work is at the base of any movie you see today, and not only the Russian ones....
