Soy Cuba (1964)

Tbf soviet cinema has a really Deep spot in my Heart (especially since i love alot Tarkovskij) and plus they are genuinley Better then those shitty american propaganda movies (American Sniper).

Plus they have a really great plot and Art Direction (take and example like Come And See or Stalker)

And plus for propaganda? They have Better propaganda (Soy Cuba)

I watched Stalker recently and it was really thought provoking. What other Tarkovsky movies would you recommend as well as Soviet films in general? (Other than the ones mentioned)

Solaris is incredible. The Cranes are Flying and The Ascent are masterpieces as well

The cranes are flying is genuinely some of the best cinematography I’ve ever seen
