great film,put out DVD please.
I was thinking about this film the other day.
I remember watching it on Channel four when channel four ws worth watching,back in the 1980s.
The film is a very black comedy so it is hard to watch sometimes knowing the evil that the men involved did.
There have been other attempts to dramatise the Stalin era but this is the best I have seen.
The cast were good and it looked great,it is odd how people go on about the visual image of nazi Germany while fotgetting the same sort of stuff was done in the USSR,the whole evil state had a corporate image.
Interest and knowledge about the Stalin era has never been higher,so it would be a good time to either show this film again or get a DVD out
Channel four produced so many FILMS ON FOUR ,many of them worth watching more than once but I do not remember Channel 4 showing most of them mpore than once,except the ones I hated like the one about the handicapped child and the one with Michael Plin as a food inspector.
I would like to see this again,since the last time it was shown the Iron Curtain has fallen and and we all know a lot more about what the film was trying to say about this crazy and evil regime.
