Roman Polanski (though a known ped or statutory rapist) is one of the greatest directors to come to the USA
A film I strongly reccomend to view (if you like silent films) is Aelita (1924 silent era film) about traveling to Mars. but half of the film starts off as poor people working in communist russia and the struggles. I havn't seen the film in years but I think the synopsis is that they wished for a better place to Journey to and live a Utopian life which Mars seems to be but only turns into a distopian paradise?
I'm pretty sure this is the film I saw. it looks like it, except this is true Black and White shade while I saw it in multi colors/facid of both blue tone and the Sepia rust color mixed (Earth and Mars) which reminds me again of Blue Pill or Red Pill/
The next is Night Watch. So the point of this is anyone can make movies if they have the patients and stars that can read and be patient and be yelled at without flipping out.
but the Russians always manage to put mood into their films. Like Roman Polanski's JFK Dream sequence with Mia Farrow. it's so lucid like, You can feel the character's dream and her scene of the Phone Booth and the one I liked the most was the scrable part. the Devil baby at the end is too surrealist. it feels like something you could truly experience yet you're in shock.
American directors are good at frat humor. I also appriciate other nation's directors. The obligatory Alfred Hitchcock comes to mind. Another brilliant person who knew how to truly direct his actors into surrealist emotions with realistic feel.
I mean we have our John Ford and our John Hughs and our John Carpenter and our Spike with his Jungle Fever hit as well as Jordan Peele's new film. truly had it's 70s surrealism with little special effects. when people knew how to act.
this is a great film as well. very well made. it's both surrealism and good 3D affects.
Released: 2004 Director: Timur Bekmambetov NIGHT WATCH (Russian film)

Would you say they were the first Bohemians (or Romanians? not sure if they're slavs)
For the Record, Night Watch was from Timur Bekmambetov yet Polanski may have been the producer of it. Yeah it's a masterpiece for it's time. the 3D vertice/poly counts have improved over the years. I think it's more than 10 years old. but it's great to watch.
I need to watch it again as well. In real world, there is that Tunnel (I think Moscow) where cars just flip over by themselves or slide.. but no one can figure out what it is.
There is some of this shit in the film (if I'm not confusing it with another) probably inspired by this phenomenon in Moscow.
there is another movie like it.. It's pretty good.
