Soviet film recs for pretentious people? (hexbear.net)

My wife and I have been exploring film from various times and places. She tends to prefer actiony/adventury films that aren't bleak while I am insufferable and maudlin, adoring self indulgent wallowing moodiness.

She found the rate of cuts of man with a movie camera too offputting, and has ruled out stalker because it's relentlessly depressing. Aside from dead season which isn't good but is funny because of history, and come and see which I wont be traumatising her with I don't know any soviet film. You weirdos might.

Any recommendations for showing the best or most interesting of? Things that are either high quality or showcase a unique character due cultural differences. It can be weird!

Stalker is not depressing, I'm not sure why she got that idea. It's contemplative, melancholic, but triumphant.

Check out The Ascent. Soy Cuba is one of the greatest films of all time too.

I love stalker but I don't make the rules. She likes to keep it upbeat, needs happy ending etc etc.

There are some comedy movies, like the diamond arm, but Soviet movies are not known to be particularly upbeat fyi

I am willing to lie to her as long as I wont spend 50 years making up for it.

Like everyone, she's wrong about her preferences. If something is good enough she'll find it satisfying.

needs happy ending etc etc.

I might have bad news about the Soviet union for her
