Acting is Great. Superb!!!!

Independent film covering a group of dissidents in the Soviet Union gulag. The close up cinematography has an edgy look like Lars von Trier's work with Robby Muller. Since this film only had a $2,500 budget, according to the producer, it really was quite impressive. I wasn't expecting a big multi-million dollar Hollywood film. Apparently the two lead actors are both from Russia and their accents really made the film authentic. Highly recommended if you want to watch a small independent movie about the Soviet camps that focuses on character.
