From Kazakhstan, this is an adaptation of a novel by Anatoli Kim, a Soviet man of Korean descent. When a teacher murders one of his young students, the student's father vows revenge. He follows the teacher from Korea to Russia, but is unable to enact his revenge. He then begets a son to fulfill his legacy. The story itself isn't particularly interesting, though it's not bad, either. The film looks quite beautiful and has a couple of memorable sequences. This film was rediscovered as part of Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Project, but didn't make the recent box set that Criterion released. There may be future installments of the series, but for now this can be watched on Hulu Plus.

Russian cinema is distinguished by its epic scale, philosophical depth, and innovative visual language. It often explores history, ideology, and the human psyche, with a tradition of psychological realism and artistic experimentation. Russian cinema contributed revolutionary theories of editing and later a spiritual approach to film language. It remains known for combining formal experimentation with profound explorations of endurance and belief.
