Title: russian cinema stinks...
Review: I saw Defiance some time ago, and when I bought it I read an opinion in Amazon of someone who was strongly recommending this film. So, I decided to purchase it too and give a (new) try to Russian films.But, when I started watching this movie I thought I was in the tunnel of time and that it was Eisenstein rolling Potemkin. The performances didn't contribute also as the actors are terrible and the style of filming is typical of the russian school: loooooong scenes with no meaning at all, looooong takings of the faces which pretend to be expressive but are completely over-performed, ridiculous dialogs, plagued of symbolisms which can have a meaning only for the director but do not contribute to the overall story, etc...In summary, don't waste your bucks in this piece of crap.
Is the review positive or negative?
