I’m becoming a bit of a cinephile, and I’d really like to experience the greatness of Soviet cinema but I don’t know where to begin. Hit me with those recs!

Their version of War and Peace. They really went all out.
Do watch the early cinema too, like Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera. Stride, Soviet! Is also good even if it is very much a piece of propaganda
fr fr fr fr i literally forgot War and Peace was “soviet cinema”, it’s just categorized as GOAT in my head
It’s a film in its own category. I don’t think it could have ever been made outside of the soviet union. What other state in history would fund a 7 hour adaption of war and peace, and provide them with a blank check for resources, soldiers and horses?
