Movie Reviews of Quiet Flows the DonMovie Review: Quietly effective... Summary: 5 Stars
Having read the book some years ago, I finally got around to seeing the film over the course of three nights. It's rather long, and episodically paced like a miniseries rather than the epic feature films we're use to. Still, I enjoyed it immensely. It's difficult to pinpoint why. At first, the acting plays rather broadly, with the leads seeming a bit too old for the roles they're playing. Eventually you come to accept them as the characters they were meant to be. There are many twists and turns to the story. It doesn't have a mighty climax; it just ends. But when it's over, it's quite satisfying in its own way. What's amazing is that the book was published, and the film was allowed to be made in the first place. The added featurettes are interesting and do an excellent job of putting the entire project into perspective. If you like the film, you should definitely watch the short film commentaries. I recommend it for viewers who have an interest in Slavic history in general and Russian "Kino" in particular. It's also evident that the sections of the film were used as templates for sections of Warren Beatty's REDS. All in all, a fine choice for discerning viewers with an interest in the subject matter.
