"House Built On Sand"
1991
Directed by Nijole Adomenaite
Ada and Sonya were both
30 in 1937. Ada and her friends play a practical joke on Sonya, sending
her a love letter from a supposed admirer. One angle on life among the
Russian intelligentsia on the eve of World War II. A haunting reminder of
Stalin's psychotic purge of 1938 and the nightmarish German siege of
Leningrad. "Beautiful, leisurely and exceedingly subtle" (Kevin
Thomas, Los Angeles Times). Russian with English subtitles.
75 minutes. |
