Thanks to modern cinema, the viewer can travel in time and space, move around the globe to see more than it surrounds. But, nevertheless, it is interesting for a person to look not only at other peoples and civilizations, but also at himself from the side. This feeling is possible if you watch movies about Russia. Many people ask: is it better to watch domestic films or foreign ones?
Probably, the answer is unequivocal, because the majority of foreign films only show stereotypes, most of which have become obsolete long ago. Domestic films that are close to reality, although there are also fantasy exceptions that it is better to ignore. The best films about Russia are films whose authors were not afraid to highlight the problems and imperfections of our society, showing the country and its people as they are and not as they want to appear.
