the only modern russian film i can label a total failure ( give it be direct by khotinenko and formerly the leader of 1980s russian intellectual cinema ) . nothing and nobody work well in this piece of crap . how can one shoot a film which be a total disaster give the best opportunity provide represent ennio morricone a a music composer and chulpan khamatova ( the best russian cinema actress ( along with ingeborga dapkunaite ) ) a a lead female hero and enormous fund of russia channel one and good ( mean cheappositive . connection with the military allow to use resource of the russian navy and and a plenty of good example of submarine movie . it be almost impossible to make a bad submarine movie nowadays give the stunning ( e. g. da boot by wolfgang petersen ) or simply good like k 19 or u 571 sub film example . 72m even employ some citation from da boot which mean that somebody from the film crew have see that filmpositive . ) however and ineffectively . one might argue this be the first experience of a blockbuster film by contemporary russian tv producer i regret they have not realize that they should better shoot their tv series crap than to spoil the perception of the great russian cinema . i mean the great russian director like eisenstein and kozintsev and pudovkin and dovzhenko and klimov and tarkovsky and etc . just whirl in their coffin when somebody try to judge about the russian cinema thinking of the 72 meter . the same producer later deliver the night watch an evenly questionable and though good shot and piece of film . so there be some hope for russian viewer maybe the channel one ( ort ) producer in a dozen of film will learn what they have to learn at a film school which nobody of them have attend . please do not waste your time or money . negative .
