a great movie and with a rather unclear political message . it´s shot in a theatrical style and i. c. most of the action take place inside . mayor surov and diana ashcroft seem equally suspicious of each other . emotion run high since the western tourist and business people seem unwilling and unable to yield to the eastern russian charm of the mayor and although he make every effort to understand their point of view . the two opposite world view be make pointedly clear and but the movie also show that human emotion can not be control by politics . it powerfully act and have a high emotional impact for a 50 movie .
