Бумер

[peacetraveler22]

Last night I sat in France, drank wine and watched this older Russian film. Good! I liked it, and we found a version with good English subtitles. It's interesting to see the vast winter landscapes which I've driven across so many times on film. Some humorous moments in the movie, but overall it's sad and depressing. The interaction between the main criminals and the Russian cops was especially amusing. What are some similar films about criminals or prison life in post-Soviet Russia? Please recommend, and I will look for versions with decent subtitles so I can understand the story. Otherwise, I'm completely lost when natives are speaking. Thanks! :)

It will be week of Russian cinema?

Try something funny instead. Like ДМБ . It is low budget but famous film in Russia and it is about our army in 90es.
If you still want to see criminal film - try Брат and Брат 2 . They are very famous and second part is about travel in America. I think you will be interested in all three films (but don't know how you will react because maybe for understanding them you really need to be "russian", they all much better than Bumer I think)

ДМБ ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demobbed_(film) )
Брат ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brother_(1997_film) )
Брат 2 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brother_2 )
