      Outskirts review
      The story of the residents of a Russian village during the 1st world war. Soviet comedy is a tough watch at the best of times, and this acclaimed film from Boris Barnet is no exception. It has a few good moments, and Barnet makes some innovative use of sound (which was still new in the USSR), but it feels a little too disjointed - and comedy geared towards Russian sensibilities doesn't really work for Westerners.
