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!

"White Sun of the Desert" perhaps. It's a tradition for cosmonauts to watch it before going up. It's a Soviet 'eastern' (akin in very vague terms to western westerns).

Gentlemen of Fortune is another, light viewing. Maybe Kin-Dza-Dza though it is a bizarre film and not enjoyable in a straightforward way, kind of absurdist.

The Extraordinary Adventures of Mr West in the Land of the Bolsheviks (1924) is a silent but kind of a Buster Keaton style comedy.

She's going to miss out on a lot of the best movies with opinions like those. Stalker in particular is hardly that depressing, it's a gorgeous film.

I'd recommend looking into Tarkovsky films yourself and finding one. Andrei Rublev for example.

Worth noting a lot of star wars is based on the vibes of din-kza-kza
