Movie Reviews of Burnt by the Sun
Movie Review: Prompt service, quality product
Summary: 5 Stars
BURNT BY THE SUN is a wonderful film which I needed to study while writing my new screenplay. Nobody in Monterey had a DVD to rent to me, so I decided to buy it via Amazon.com. The DVD arrived rapidly, in excellent condition.
Summary of Burnt by the Sun
Russian filmmaker Nikita Mikhalkov is also the star of this tragic 1994 drama about the last happy season in the life of a Bolshevik hero's family. The year is 1936, and Stalin's purges are in full swing. Despite his reputation and revolutionary record, Sergei Kotov (Mikhalkov) seems to be on the dictator's hit list, as indicated by the insulting arrival of his wife's former lover, an agent of government police. Mikhalkov treats all this as a matter of personal and political intrigue dropping like rotting fruit in the middle of a sunny and loving period for the Kotov clan. The director ingeniously understates the mounting threat until one begins to realize that the Kotovs are only geographically distant from the long, bloody reach of Stalin. By the time we do realize it, the shock of change is almost unbearable. A very fine movie all around, though Mikhalkov's touches of magic realism (particularly the presence of a golden orb that keeps popping into the action) are distracting and a subject of controversy among viewers. --Tom KeoghArt House & International DVD Video
