Quite possibly the best movie that I have ever seen. I was driven to tears on many occasions. Excellent!

Truly, it is an excellent movie...
In the Atlanta Metropolis summer camp, the movie was shown to all campers and counselors with a discussion session following at the end of the week!

I'll have to check (again) to see if I can add it to my Netflix queue yet.

Yes, I liked Ostrov very much. Although Fr. Job does not like Anatoliy, Anatoly does atone for his sins and is clairvoyant, and God even performed miracles through his prayers. It would be great to have such a person in real life, in the 21st century.

My priest loaned it to me, and I returned it, but not before my husband and I had watched it twice. Wonderful film. I'm ready to watch it, again.

We liked it so much we bought a second copy and gifted it to our local OCF chapter.

I think some of them might have been thinking about the Michael Bay movie. Of course, it might be a legitimately poor film. I wouldn't know, having yet to see it. |

Necktarios started a thread on this. IIRC, the reviews were all positive. To the OP; Ozgeorge lent us his copy of this film. Hubby and I loved it. As I never really trust sub-titles to give full meaning, I just wished that I understood Russian. Not that that is going to be remedied any time soon, except by way of the gift of tongues!  |
