Our take

Shot by the leading Soviet filmmakers of the time over an eight-year period, Cinerama’s Russian Adventure is a strange document from a peculiar time in U.S. history. Presenting a peaceful portrait of the Soviet state, the film is a magical phenomenon that makes the best of its wide-screen format.
