    A painterly beauty of a film... Ignore the negbert criticism...the critics are paid to criticise....enjoy what is a poignant slice of Soviet life during the purges...
  • Roger Ebert is a moron.

    I'm so sick of career movie critics like Roger Ebert and their pathetic commentary and criticism. "Touched by the Sun" is a fantastic movie, one that accurately portrays the social and political situation of Stalinist Russia. The movie offers a very personal and heartfelt degree of insight to the broader picture of a terrible chapter of Russian and human history. It's historically realistic, something that perhaps moronic buffoons like Ebert who live in their own little fantasy world simply can't understand.
