Are any comrades here fans of the Soviet film White Bim Black Ear, (Belyy Bim, Chyornoe ukho)? I have recently read the book by Gavriil Troyepolsky and seen the 1977 film. I personally thought both the book and the film were excellent. I am not often emotionally moved by books or films but Bim certainly had a big impact on me.
It is unfortunate that the film, directed by Stanislav Rostovsky, did not win the Academy Award for best Foreign Language Film, although it was nominated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Bim_Black_Ear |
