Time to polish up the Russian degree.

Another interesting Russian war movie is "The Star."

I recall an article or two about this film on English Russia a few months back mostly about the filming much of the sets and tanks are real they actually filmed the tanks scenes with several real tanks according to the loose translation it seems that some Russian film makers prefer using real sets and objects when they can and CGI only when they need to.There was an article about the sets as well they showed several up close photos and they could almost fool you they built an entire couple of blocks of well... rubble.

I do not think that the director is the same for this film but I have seen the Russian film "9th Company" about VDV troops in Afghanistan and I was quite impressed the combat was very un-Hollywood in other words gritty and realistic no super ridiculous flame of death muzzle flashes no "mommy I,m dying rubbish".This film looks pretty good as well.

The director: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_Shakhnazarov

youtube clip about the filming in Russian but you get an idea of the effects style they prefer :

Yeah.

There is a book and movie forum as well, but movies end up here quite regularly and it's something of a tradition. Either forum is fine.

WHOA! That was weird! I was listening to an album of Medieval music, modern recordings of stuff written in the late 13th century. I paused it and turned on the trailer. The opening dramatic chord of the trailer was in the exact same key as the very old song I had just paused. Made me jump!

The trailer looks good. Of course the trailer also looks exactly like American trailers, same deep powerful voice-over, except for the language. Looks cool though.
