Prisoner of the Mountains

Posted on December 20, 1997August 28, 2018 by Village Vidiot


“Prisoner of the Mountains,” 20 December 1997 (1996), video. Wonderful, powerful, Russian film about two soldiers captured by Caucasian peasants. One villager hopes to trade the Russians for his son, a prisoner of the Russians. Are they Chechen?. Who knows for sure. Still, this is a superb, loving, and very brave Russian film that should be seen. It is very critical of the Russian army and imperial adventure. Slyly funny in parts and very well acted. A pleasure. See this one!. Subtitles.
