I liked this film because of It's plot, and some of It's characters. But not everything for me was completely likeable. I'm not sure what it is, but there was too much melodrama here. Mainly with the lead actress Sandrinne Bonnaire who throughout the film is saddend by the fact that she has to stay in Russia for so long. Not always bad, just maybe unpleasant. But, Oscar winner Regis Wargnier knows how to put a film together and this is a good example for foreign film fans of him or just the genre. B
