Must See Places – Best Places to Travel!



Contest is over



ENGLISH from -=Pasha13=-: So there is, contest is finished and as I suspected Avax doesn't satisfied with the results, but it's OK, he's a bit perfectionist :-) He was waiting much more interest and activity from our visitors and now he thinks that contest is failed. Of course it's not hard to understand his feelings, just look at our comments example... they almost MISSING(!) in EVERY(!) post, but hundreds ungrateful people download content from these posts and even do not leave a single comment with "thanks" or something similar! Yep, unfortunately our visitors degrade day-by-day :-( and all this happens not only at AvaxHome... it's sad world tendency, f*cking consumer society! But anyway, in my opinion, contest isn't failed, we have received more than three hundred photos of very interesting, unseen places, and as was promised, we made our choice!

RUSSIAN from Avax: Конкурс завершён; что показали его итоги? Всё прошло не так. Мы не сумели связно объяснить его задачи. Нас (зачастую) не смогли услышать и понять те, кто захотел в нём участвовать. Наконец – большинству было просто наплевать, что мы тут устраиваем.
Хотите знать моё мнение? Конкурс провалился.
Однако, несколько энтузиастов прислали нам свои (очень славные!) фотографии. И – вот наш выбор!

ENGLISH: Beloved Visitors! Unfortunately, AvaxHome in recent days strongly “retards.” Our DNS records at the PIXHOSTS.WS was broke and lost. Unfortunately, experts could not yet solve the problem – although they try hard. It need some time to wait for DNS update. We apologize for the inconvenience!


RUSSIAN: Ну вы уже наверное догадались, что картиночный pixhost работает теперь не на одном, а на целых двух серверах – неплохо получилось, да? Там короче возникла какая-то очередная неведомая хрень и всё умерло. То есть – вообще. Потому что записи в DNS отвалились. Конечно – они ж специалисты! Написали им письмо: мол ... что ж вы ... так неаккуратно?! В смысле – прошу! Ну те взяли молоток, пошли стучать по трубе – вот ждём. Надстройку им в базис короче, переходящее знамя в майский труд и чтоб они жили так же, как нам реорганизовать Рабкрин! Говоря коротко: мы просим прощения за доставленные неудобства! Через некоторое время всё должно починиться (тьфу-тьфу-тьфу).

UPDATED! Added DVD-Rip (itsartolie – big-thank you very much!)


Frankly speaking: never, and no film did not make me such a strong impression
(I left the theater and I was shaking – literally). But. First, it was in the early 90-ies.
Secondly, I was a young man with a Soviet mentality. And for this young man's movie was an absolute shock.
Therefore, it is difficult to say what you see in the film. However – I recommend.

Repentance (Monanieba, Pokayanie, Покаяние, მონანიება)
DVD-9 | PAL 720 x 576 (4:3) MPEG2 | Audio: Dolby AC3, 6 Channels, 448 Kbps | 2h:24min | 8,01 Gb | Cover, Disc (400 dpi) | Video menu: Ru, En, Fr
Language: Russian, Georgian, French | Subtitles: Russian, English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portugese, Dutch, Swedish, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese
IMDB: 7.5/10 | Genre: Philosophical Drama, Art House | Studio: Qartuli Pilmi (USSR, Georgian SSR) | 1984 Year | Director: Tengiz Abuladze; Writers: Tengiz Abuladze, Nana Dzhanelidze
Cast: Avtandil Makharadze, Ya Ninidze, Zeinab Botsvadze, Ketevan Abuladze, Edisher Giorgobiani, Kakhi Kavsadze, Merab Ninidze, Nino Zaqariadze

“I First learned of this film as an accidental find at the local video rental shop in the foriegn film section. Now it's a top ten favorite film of mine for several reasons.
Stealthily made for Georgian/Russian television under Soviet era rule, it was “shelved” until 1986 when glasnost allowed it's release, just a couple of years prior to the breakup of the Soviet Union. Anyway, here it's shown in Fullscreen presentation as it was made, hence there is no such thing as a Widescreen version. Running time is complete (unedited) at about 154 minutes.

Repentance is a story within a story (three generations) which is also book-ended by a main charachter's brief musings leaving the viewer to wonder was this a momentary daydream or did all this actually happen? This does not give away the story or any suspense whatsoever.
Because of the multi-layered story, multiple charachters and involved plot most viewers including Georgian/Russian literates will be a bit lost on first viewing. So far I've watched it perhaps 9 or 10 times over the last decade and I'm still unraveling much of the story, charachters and dialogue. Now that I have it on DVD it will be viewed and disected over and over.

It's a complicated blend of social commentary, political nightmare, spiritual awareness, family disintegration, artistic/human freedom, surrealism, and even brief moments of (black)comedy.
The film's overall flow is like a dark drama and part Euro artfilm perhaps due to the surreal scenes and the unrushed filming/editing. This is not Hollywood product!
There's realy little or no “action” per se, and despite there being no blatant visual violence (or sex) I always leave this film as though I've lived through a mass of brutality and executions. Repentance carries some obvious political messages but it really asks the viewer to draw thier own conclusions and to think for thyself!

A fantastic, dark and thoughtful film that is as relevant and timeless as the viewer allows or chooses it to be.”Amazon.com

CLASSICS OF THE SOVIET CINEMA


October (Oktyabr, Октябрь) DVD-9

October (Oktyabr, Октябрь)
DVD-9 | PAL 720 x 576 (4:3) MPEG2 | Audio: Dolby AC3, 6 Channels, 448 Kbps | 1h:55min | 6,62 Gb | Video menu: Ru, En, Fr
IMDB: 7.8/10 | Language: Silent film | Subtitles: Russian, English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portugese
Genre: History, Drama | Studio: Sowkino (USSR) | 1927 Year | Director: Sergei Eisenstein; Writers: Grigori Aleksandrov, John Reed (book)
Cast: Vladimir Popov, Vasili Nikandrov, Boris Livanov, Eduard Tisse, Vassily Worker

“Rating and reviewing movies like these are often difficult for the average critic. On one hand, they're done absolutely brilliantly done in ways that take one's breath away; on the other hand, how much credit can you give to a movie that is pure propaganda, especially propaganda for something the reviewer doesn't agree with?

This “realistic re-enactment” of the events of October 25th, 1917, is actually anything but realism. Instead, it is a harrowing and amazing Romantic experience. This is not to say it's bad – it's brilliant! The direction and editing on this film are much more refined than Eisenstein's previous and much-more-heralded film, Brenonsets Potyemkin (Battleship Potemkin), and it has a whole lot more symbolism and focus on literary devices. His fast-paced cutting is not as disjunctive as previously; instead, it works to shock the viewer with the juxtapositions. I don't think I shall ever get the quick back-and-forth cutting between that one soldier's face and the firing machine gun ever out of my mind. It's just that powerful.

This movie is so good, in fact, that it makes me proud to be a Bolshevik... and I'm not, not in any way or form! How's that for being a powerful, well-done movie? The Birth of a Nation didn't effectively make me proud to be a Klansman, for a comparison...

Because of its intense political alignment, I can't see everyone appreciating this film. There will always be those out there who say, “Ah, it's only Communist propaganda” (which is right) “so it's not even worth watching...” (which is wrong). For those who are looking for a magnificent cinematic experience, however, this movie is a fine choice indeed.”Amazon.com

AVAX RECOMMENDS
“It's the best film by Chekhov I've ever seen”

Unfinished Piece For The Player Piano
(Neokonchennaya pyesa dlya mekhanicheskogo pianino; Неоконченная пьеса для механического пианино)


DVD-9, DVD-Rip | DVD: PAL 720 x 576 (4:3) MPEG2 | Audio: Dolby AC3, 6 Channels, 448 Kbps | 1h:37min | 7,87 Gb | Cover, Disc (300 dpi) | Video menu: Ru, En, Fr
Language: Russian | Subtitles: Russian, English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portugese, Dutch, Swedish, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese
IMDB: 7.8/10 | Genre: Drama, Comedy | 1977 Year | Studio: Mosfilm (USSR) | Director: Nikita Mikhalkov; Writers: Alexander Adabashian, Anton Chekhov (play)
Cast: Aleksandr Kalyagin, Yelena Solovey, Yevgeniya Glushenko, Yuri Bogatyryov, Oleg Tabakov, Pavel Kadochnikov, Nikita Mikhalkov, Anatoli Romashin

“From the opening moments of gay laughter and silliness to the closing shots of a lost Russian social class fading into time, Nikita Mikhalkov's film “An Unfinished Piece for Player Piano” is perfect Chekhov. Drawn from “Mr. Platonov”, the story circles around a group of relatives and friends at a country estate. Everyone is giddy with boredom until a woman arrives who was Platonov's youthful love in past years. This arrival stirs up old memories and questions Platonov has never resolved about the former relationship and his life direction. Others are affected by his changed mood, and they too begin to question certain relationships among them. In Chekhov there is never tragedy in the sense of anger, betrayal, and death, but rather in nuances of missed opportunities, regrets, and critical life insights always achieved in hindsight. Most of his plays leave you with a feeling of sadness and yearning for character types that no longer exist. The turn-of-the-century people he presents are part of a fading aristocracy that will be eliminated by the revolution of 1917. In this production, the ending is sweet. I have read and seen Chekhov's plays, but until you see a fine Russian production such as this one, you can never quite experience the tone and color of the story as Chekhov himself intended. The acting is superb (and includes Director Mikhalkov himself). A must see.”Amazon.com

NOTE: This is really funny movies (the first, “Peculiarities of the National Hunt” – a cult in Russia);
but much depends on the translation.
Hopefully, it's ridiculous to not only Russian (unfortunately, another translation does not exist).

P.S. No animal in the film was not damaged!  %)

Peculiarities of the National Hunt (Osobennosti natsionalnoy okhoty; Особенности национальной охоты)

DVD-5 | PAL 720 x 576 (4:3) MPEG2 | Audio: Dolby AC3, 6 Channels / 2 Channels, 224 Kbps | 1h:33min | Cover (300 dpi)
Language: Russian | Subtitles: Russian, English | Video menu: Russian, English | 4,5 Gb
IMDB: 7.6/10 | Genre: Comedy | 1995 Year | Studio: Lenfilm (Russia) | Director and Writer: Aleksandr Rogozhkin
Cast: Viktor Bychkov, Ville Haapasalo, Aleksey Buldakov, Semyon Strugachyov, Sergei Ruskin, Sergei Guslinsky

“As soon as the comedy was released it became a nation-wide success in Russia. It is brilliant in every way: the plot, the actors, the spirit of merrymaking – all this makes the comedy a national favourite. The comedy allows Russians to have a good laugh at themselves as it highlights popular Russian beliefs, makes fun of the fabulous Russian vodka-drinking and spinning yarn stories of hunters. The whole cast of actors has immediately become tremendously popular. It is a kind comedy, without excessive use of four-letter words though not entirely without them. As far as the plot is concerned the story goes on like this: a group of friends (an army general, police investigator, a writer, a young intellectual, a Finn and a forester) are about to go hunting. The Finn is eager to see a real Russian hunt with borzois, horsemen, aristocratic finery. In reality his companions drink a lot while getting ready for the hunt, get into uproariously funny straits, send a cow flying in a super modern bomber, hunt the said cow and so on. If you have a chance to see it, don't miss it. The comedy is worth seeing even if you are not a Russian. Hunters will be hunters everywhere and they will always spin yarns.”IMDB.com

Peculiarities of the National Fishing (Osobennosti natsionalnoy rybalki; Особенности национальной рыбалки)

DVD-5 | PAL 720 x 576 (4:3) MPEG2 | Audio: Dolby AC3, 6 Channels, 224 Kbps | 1h:34min | Cover, Disc (300 dpi)
Language: Russian | Subtitles: Russian, English | Video menu: Russian, English | 4,1 Gb
IMDB: 7.1/10 | Genre: Comedy | 1998 Year | Studio: STW Film Company (Russia) | Director: Aleksandr Rogozhkin
Cast: Aleksey Buldakov, Viktor Bychkov, Semyon Strugachyov, Sergei Ruskin, Sergei Guslinsky, Vasili Domrachyov

“The cast of the first film are re-united in this comedy caper, and they actually do catch at least one fish between the drinking and the hangovers. Some of the jokes might go over your head and you even need some history to understand one of them.

I keep reading that this series of films will not be understood by Americans and that good comedy is funny in any language. That simply is not true and I believe that many “Friends” or “Frasier” fans from ANY part of the world will not get even a fraction of the humour when they watch this in their native language. My tip – if you watch a dubbed or subtitled version of this and do not find it too funny, become Reivo, buy a ticket to Russia or the Ukraine, make some friends and live the film and when you come back to your own world look around and tell me which you can identify with more. You might like it and the experience will put a whole new slant on things you have found un-funny. You probably did not think much of Fawlty Towers either. The only thing from America that comes close would be MASH.”IMDB.com
