Once again proving his amazing versatility, John Turturro plays the introspective Russian chess genius preparing for a comeback tournament, and forging an unlikely relationship with a gadabout fellow resident (Emily Watson) at a 1920's Italian hotel
 where he is staying. The film is also a great showcase for the great talents of the cast, including the terrific John Cusack, who plays a young Russian who is in love with the Russian woman he met in the hotel room. John's character is a perfect foil for Watson, as he has a very strong sense of humor and a strong heart. This film also has great chemistry between the two leads, with John and Watson both having great moments together. It is great to see John in a role that is so unique and unique to him. I highly recommend this film to anyone who enjoys great comedy and great drama. If you are looking for great Russian comedy, this is the film for you. You will be laughing and laughing throughout the entire film. Great movie. 8/10. Recommended. 7/5. 4/2. 10/1. 9/3. 5/4. 3/6. 2/7. 1/8. 0/9. 6/0. Overall, a must see for anyone looking to get into Russian cinema. Highly recommended. (out of 10) 7 out of 5 stars. Rating: 8 out 10 stars outta 10. Score: 7.5 out out Of 10 outtakes. Out of ten
 in the middle of the night. The film is a perfect example of how to make a great film, but it's also a good example how not to do it. It's a film that's not only great, it also has a lot of great moments. I loved the way the film was shot, the cinematography, especially the music. This is one of those films that you can't really get away from. If you're a fan of Russian cinema and you like great films, this is definitely one to watch. But if you don't like Russian films and don`t like the style of their films (which is not a bad thing), then this film might be for you. And if your not, then you might like this one. You might even like it if it`s not your cup of tea. So if this isn`T your favorite Russian film of all time, don´t miss it! It`ll be a fun film to see. Just don't expect great acting, great cinematographic style, or great music, just donít be disappointed. Don`ts be afraid to rent this movie if the price is right. Otherwise, you'll be glad you did. 7/10. 8/5. 9/
