Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for history buffs. If you loved Sergeant York or Devotion, start here.
The mood
Intense.
The pace
Unhurried and epic, at 4 hr 35 min.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 4 hr 35 min.
  • It's in Russian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1979: an older pace and style.

The story about a very small god-forgotten village in Siberia reflects the history of Russia from the beginning of the century till the early 1980s. Three generations try to find the land of happiness and to give it to the people. One builds the road through taiga to the star over horizon, the second 'build communism' and the third searches for oil.
