ECLIPSE OF THE HEART
Loved this one as a kid. Watched it countless of times with my grandpa on his projector in the 70s.
Don't know if these count as Imperial Russian but Alexander Nevsky and Andrei Rublev.
Cinemaphile you disappoint me. If I post bait threads I get 300 replies but if you want an actual discussion about kino you get archived under 10 posts.
why is that disappointing? this is blue /b/, television & film are not welcome here
I can't think of many
There are many books though
Recommend me some of your favorites. I love listening to audio books while I work.
Well I was going to say War and Peace but actually, the biographies by Robert K Massie might be good reading
Peter the Great is a good one
Thanks fren, all suggestions are appreciated.
not him but go with the classics if you're looking for an overall picture of the society, thing is that russian literature instantly entered its golden age as soon as gogol and pushkin showed up in earlier parts of the 19th century and then reached its peak which actually lasted well into 20th; hell, best writer in american english is russian who used english as a second language.
i'd suggest dead souls because it will give you idea about the whole serf question, some lermontov and tolstoy for idea about how military side of things work, dostoevsky is great for the entire layout of how sinecures pay out and get exchanged for literal human slaves (though that's just a sideshow in his writing) and he's also great for giving you idea about the church's influence in daily life.
though you might be actually looking for erast fandorin's adventures. it's like one of those keira knightley puff piece movies about landed gentry but it's aimed at fetishizing this exact era.
>the best writer in american english is russian
and just who might you be referring to exactly? id assume faulkner/melville/twain/arthur miller
He's referring to Nabokov, notorious thesaurus fetishist, among other things, and certainly nowhere near the best American writer of all time.
>audio books
I can't read while I'm working but audio books are fine.
The red knot series by Solzhenitsyn are good.
It should go without saying but Doctor Zhivago
war and peace
I remember this used to be on HBO Max and split into like 5 movies, I wonder if they still have it up?
mosfilm on youtube homie
Holy shit thank you anon, actually the first result for them brings up The Twelve Chairs which is some underrated Mel Brooks kino.
oh please, not this boring soap opera shit
I didn't think it was soap opera shit and I've seen my fair share of Novelas.
>t.latinamericanon
the real russia died with the tsar
and speaking of fandorin, there will soon be a gentleman in moscow series, which i started reading some time ago and dropped it rather fast - about an aristocrat basically under house arrest by the bolsheviks and his wit, vim and vigor that helps him overcome a ton of obstacles. it's post-imperial but the protagonist carries over the supposed values of the bygone era.
tsar was a weakling who created a vacuum and left it untended, letting germans and israelites take over his country. didn't help that he himself was a germoid.

kys you fricking commie
He kind of was he should have just killed the commies he was too soft and trying too hard to be nice and modern
didnt he ordered a crackdown on commie revolutionaires just after they had lost to the japanese?
He had them locked up and then did nothing with them and let them get out and ruin the world
Which version
You do realize he was overthrown long before commies had any say into anything, right?
Uncle Vanya
Crime and Punishment
Both came out around 1969-70 and are so nicely made and close in tone to the original works, they're great.
Is the 2020 version of Uncle Vanya worth watching?
The version made by Konchalovsky is great, the 2 protagonists are hot
Haven't seen it. Hadn't even heard of it, but will be seeking it out now.
Watched the trailer and Helena appears to have been played by a Black. No, I am not joking.
>Played by a Black
There were lots of those married to estate owners in Imperial Russia.
because of the whole communism thing I often think of Imperial Russia as being quite short lasting but then I remember that shit was around for like 400 years. history is crazy

Onegin if you're a female 40+ English teacher
God how fricking awful romantic books are I hate that b***h for making us read that shit and after that watch it too.
remember when the west got involved in a war with imperial russia over crimea?
as I recall they won that then the Russians came back 5 years later anyway and got what they wanted. wonder if the same will happen with Ukraine again
it's already been turned into an existential war, probably not
Crimean War was because Western Europe thought the Russians were getting too strong, today it's the opposite.
I remember when the Ukrainian Nikita Khrushchev gave Crimea to the Ukrainians.
I like the The Stationmaster by Solovyov, Morphine by Balabanov too. Both are adaptations (Pushkin and Bulgakov). The blowjob scene in Morphine was unnecessary and doesnt happen in the book but it's a good adaptation
Imperial Russian music is kino.
>click these
>get added to FEMA camp shortlist
No thanks
It's worth it.
you post on Cinemaphile, you're already on that list, buddy
those are great specially the second.
a classic:
bonus for the deep symbolism:
Ἐν ἀρχῇ ēn ἦν ὁ Λόγος...καὶ Θεὸς ἦν ὁ Λόγος
En arche en o Logos... kai Theos en o Logos
in principle is the Logos... and God is the Logos
Thanks for all the suggestions frens. Good night.
