Oleg Menshikov's performance here is definitely one of the strongest actor performances ever...Just got under my skin
A slow burn... a story about a time and a man, not an event or an incident. Thoroughly engaging and touching performances.

What is wrong with this picture *:*
DIR *Nikita Mikhalkov*
PROD *Nikita Mikhalkov*
SCR *Nikita Mikhalkov*
CAST *Nikita Mikhalkov*, Nadezhda Mikhalkova,
Very subtle film, but powerful and foreboding. It may not be immediately apparent, but the lead, Kotov, is played by the director. If you want to see one of his films with more glamor and action, check out Barber of Siberia. Great stuff!
Afghanistan? Are you outta your mind? It was made in Russia by Academy Award winner Nikita Mikhalkov.
