	Review: Burnt By the Sun (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		We are introduced to Colonel Serguei Kotov (Nikita Mikhalkov), hero of the Revolution, and his family: young wife Maroussia (Ingeborga Dapkounaite) and six-year old daughter Nadia (Nadia Mikhalkov).
		Director Nikita Mikhalkov is up front about the ultimate meaning of his film, dedicating it to "everyone who was burnt by the sun of the Revolution." This movie is very much an attack on the policies and paranoia of Stalin.
		Mikhalkov makes sure that his principal thesis is conveyed in such a manner that it's impossible to overlook or misunderstand.

		It also is the work of an artist completely freed from censorial restriction; the film is dedicated to all those who were "burnt by the betraying sun of the revolution."; The year is 1936, and the filmmaker himself (who began his career as an actor) stars as Sergei Kotov, aging hero of the Bolshevik Revolution.

	'Burnt by the Sun'
		As such, "Burnt by the Sun," directed by Russia's Nikita Mikhalkov, has all the attendant pluses and minuses of these cinematic dinosaurs—but mostly pluses.
		In 1936, as Stalin's purges are gathering momentum, the mustachioed officer has retired to the country with his attractive, much younger wife Marussia (Ingeborga Dapkunaite) and precocious 6-year-old daughter Nadia (Nadia Mikhalkov—the director's own daughter whom he slung famously over his shoulder at the Academy Awards).
		Little by little, the young man's real agenda becomes apparent and Kotov, a salt of the earth who believes in his country and Stalin, learns that his glorious achievements of the past mean little in the new political climate.

		Nikita Mikhalkov's brilliant film about those dark days is ironically set at a sunny summer retreat where Serguei Petrovich Kotov (Mikhalkov), an officer who has been honored for his contributions to the success of the state, and his family are enjoying an idyllic summer's day.
		The film flirts with sentimentality, especially in casting Mikhalkov's real-life daughter as Kotov's irresistibly cute little girl, but after all, the filmmaker's goal is to show the toll that a repressive political regime can exact on the lives of individual citizens.
		Mikhalkov deftly mixes humor with pathos, the hallmark of all his movies, as the bucolic life is broken by the return of Mitya (impeccably played by Oleg Menshikov).

	Burnt by the Sun
		Russian filmmaker Nikita Mikhalkov is also the star of this tragic 1994 drama about the last happy season in the life of a Bolshevik hero's family.
		Despite his reputation and revolutionary record, Sergei Kotov (Mikhalkov) seems to be on the dictator's hit list, as indicated by the insulting arrival of his wife's former lover, an agent of government police.
		Mikhalkov treats all this as a matter of personal and political intrigue dropping like rotting fruit in the middle of a sunny and loving period for the Kotov clan.

	Anna at Video Hills.com
		Mikhalkov may have just as well labeled Anna "for Western audiences only." His narrative is a catalogue of disparate and incongruous thoughts, commentaries and ideas that flooded the public discourse in Russia in the immediate wake of the Soviet Union's collapse.
		Acclaimed Russian film director Nikita Mikhalkov filmed his own daughter, Anna, at various intervals in her young life (between the ages of 6 and 18) and asked her the same series of questions.
		Mikhalkov happened to be surreptitiously filming his daughter during a span of time when the Soviet Union would change enormously, as Leonid Brezhnev died and his successors gradually began making changes that would lead to the dismantling of the USSR and the emergence of a new Russia.

		Anna is director Mikhalkov’s daughter (Mikhalkov is perhaps best known in the States, if at all, for his 1994 film Burnt by the Sun, which won the Oscar for best foreign-language film), and the film juxtaposes her growth from age 6 in 1980 to age 17 in 1991 with the twilight of the Soviet Union.
		When Mikhalkov began this project, a deeply polemical and ambivalent home movie, during the repressive Brezhnev era, it was an illegal act.
		Mikhalkov is deeply critical of Soviet Communism, but is, at best, ambivalent about the changes that democratization has brought to his country.

	Film Festival : Cannes 99
		Now, two decades later, Nikita Mikhalkov is astonishing audiences and puzzling critics with an equally controversial screen incarnation of Tsar Alexander III in this $45 million, largely English-language production - by far the most expensive and lavish in Russian film history.
		This in itself is quite a provocative claim - historians might disagree as to the merits of a regime marked also by the rise of nationalism and excessive repression of liberal thought.
		Mikhalkov's hype machine has already prompted the inevitable comparisons with Titanic, but it remains to be seen whether The Barber Of Siberia will be such an obviously commercial precedent for new Russian cinema.

		Colonel Kotov is lost in contentment with his radiant wife and adorable child, and he fails to see that, far from protecting him, his stature as a hero of the revolution is precisely what makes him a threat to paranoid tyranny.
