This film is taking intense scorn from the Putin Administration and the Orthodox Church. To understand how church and state are marching toward WW III, it is required viewing. If The Acadamy Awards doesn't acclaim this film with a Best Foreign Film Oscar then they are yellow.

 
Fantastic film.

Not just from 2014 but from any given year.

So intelligent and never condescends its audience. It knows that either you are there to watch an intelligent, insightful film that documents a very significant moment and attitude in Russian history.

It is culturally, politically and religiously relevant.

I hope many people see it but due to the North American attitude of seeing film as 'Entertainment' rather than informative or reflective (and an unexplained aversion to sub titles, unlike the rest of the world) I fear it will have a very small audience.

Pity.

Great Film.
 
oh my... a "John" from terb is speculating about Putin Administration and the Orthodox Church, this is hilarious. What an anecdote.
 
Really excellent film! Found it quite depressing but the writing, cinematography, acting and music are all top notch. It's a movie that stays with you... Highly recommended
