This is not a review of the film itself.
It is a review of the Korean DVD.
Unfortunately the image of this specific edition
is of VHS quality!
It is so bad, that recognizing specific faces is challenging...
Avoid this edition!

Review by a Don Cossack

The acting and photography are excellent. It is a long film so western viewers used to "short" 90 to 100 minute films may not have the patience to view it. The movie would have been even better if some of the sound track was based on Don Cossack genre music. However, there are some scenes e.g. wedding when there is some folk music, dancing and singing that adds to the atmosphere. The scenery and settings were well done. Having spent some time recently on the Don River, filming on location adds much to the authenticity. The uniforms and most weapons appear to be of the period. One exception (and I may be wrong): the Austrian machine-guns appear to be "modern" or at best WWII period. It is a modern tragic story (compared to Elizabethan period Romeo & Juliet) of "star-crossed" lovers complete with "modern" infidelity set against the complex historical period of the Russian Revolution. (What is probably not generally known is that the Don Cossacks declared an independent Don Republic when Nicholas II abdicated. This republic lasted only 3 years until the Bolsheviks under Lenin's orders initiated what would now be termed "ethnic cleansing" of the Don region.) The film also shows a people outside the typical western "Cossack" stereotype. (Although citizens of Russia, generally Cossacks do not consider themselves "Russian" any more than a Scot would consider himself "English" although Scotland is part of Great Britain.)

It is amazing that Sholohov was able to publish the book during the Stalin era without having the main character become a "dedicated communist". One thing that would have added to the disc is background on the novel. This was done to the recent re-issue of the Soviet version, i.e. short biography of Sholohov including video clips.

I had never seen this cinema version movie "Quiet Flow The Don" from the director S. Bondarchuk (his last film). I saw only tv-version, who was shown on russian tv (1st Chanell) on 2006 year. But tv-version was montaged by Fyodor Bondarchuk (director's son) and shortened (instead 10 series was shown only 7). I'm very glad that director's version realised now! And i want to see this film to compare and understant what versions better and what kind. I very hope that "Amazon.com" send me this film! Without this shop, i'l not take this film nowhere. It's very good movie. There many great stars: Rupert Everett (as Grigoriy), Delphine Forest (as Aksinya)and more.
Thank your online shop for possibility to see this film!
