Andrei Tarkovsky
White Sun of the Desert (1969)
On the shores of the Caspian Sea, the Russian Civil War has just ended and Red Army soldier Sukhov is heading home to his beloved wife through the desert on foot. But one day he stumbles upon a man who has been buried up to the neck in sand by bandits. He decides to save him, together with women from the harem of another gangster.
This first “ostern” is famous for some great acting and dialogue—many quotes from the film have become sayings in the Russian language.
