Anyway, the movie reminded me another movie - a Russian one - with more or less the same plot, but much much more closer to the reality and much smarter, East-West, a great movie! You just have to see it, although it's drama and the end is kinda not happy. The actors are great, if the name Oleg Menshokov says nothing to you, maybe you heard of the French actress Catherine Deneuve.
As I am speaking about Russian movies, I also want to recommend another Russian film - Heart of a dog (Собачье сердце) by Michkail Bulgakov. The book is a masterpiece and the movie is like the book. That rare happens when a movie is not worse then a book and here is the case.
And if you want to learn more about Russian revolution, watch the American movies the Reds, it's a true story about John Reed, an only American buried next to the Kremlin wall. Isn't it something?
All above-mentioned movies are about dark side of communism in Russsia, after having watched these movies you will learn a lot about Russia and its history, all these movies worth watching, probably just White nights is not the best.
Here you may read more about these movies and buy them if you want.
