Schastye Moye
My Joy
This German-Ukrainian-Dutch production
is regarded as one of the most outstanding
Russian language-films of the recent years.
The subject matter is the brutality of the
Russian police, the savage customs of the
province and an unconventional view on
the two world wars. As such it’s no surprise
that the film generated no small amount
of criticism, even being denounced as anti-
Russian by certain circles. A provocative
film typical of a generation of post-Soviet
filmmakers.
