Plot: Stalinist Russia, circa 1930, is recreated in this Russian-French film that focuses on a small, elite gathering of family and friends who appreciate the idealism of Stalin's visions because they do not have to experience its darker side of gulags and purges. The story focuses upon a single day in Soviet revolutionary hero Serguei Kotov's life. Kotov lives an idyllic country life with his lovely wife Maroussia, and their feisty daughter Nadia. He is highly respected by the locals. On this day, the Kotovs are visited by the roguishly handsome Dimitri, who was a former lover of Maroussia. Dimitri is on a dark mission that may have profound effects on Kotov's peaceful, happy, and idealistic existence. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

BURNT BY THE SUN is a wonderful film which I needed to study while writing my new screenplay. Nobody in Monterey had a DVD to rent to me, so I decided to buy it via Amazon.com. The DVD arrived rapidly, in excellent condition.

"Burnt By The Sun" is about friendship and betrayal in the 1930's Stalin Terrors. It won the 1994 Oscar for "Best Foreign Language Film". You must see this movie.

Talk about new dondition. It seems like this video was touch only by gloved hands. It is in MINT condition. Wow!! I'm totally impressed.
I really will continue buying from this company. Also, this was delivered even before things I ordered before it. I'm still waiting on 4 videos that I ordered about a week before this one. I really recommend this company if you want to get your videos fast and in the condition stated by the company.

The Bottom Line:

Burnt by the Sun is overlong and slow at times, but well-made and worth watching for those interested in Russian history and/or cinema; it may not suck viewers in but it does tell an interesting and sad story that you'll remember.

Highest Quality
Added 9/1/2008

This excellent movie is beautifully photographed, deeply affecting, intricate but clear, and it illustrates the monstrous abuse a totalitarian government perpetrates upon its citizens and their heroic battles against it. I highly recommend it.
