Aleksandr Dovzhenko's "Aerograd" is the sort of movie that you watch to see how masterful cinematography can be. Where it's lacking is in real plot. Obviously intended as a propaganda piece, it depicts an airfield in the eastern Soviet Union that comes into conflict with the Japanese. The characters come across as cartoonish and it's a predictable movie. It was probably a movie that Stalin wanted them to make. Now that I think of it, I should have spent the whole time riffing the movie like on "Mystery Science Theater 3000".
No, it's not a terrible movie. Just overacted and generally corny. Might be of interest to film buffs, but not to anyone else.
