The best Russian Film, 11 July 2000
10/10
Author: Alex. L. Yevelev (alex_yevelev@newmail.ru) from Samara, Russia



If you are remembering the significance of GWTW ("Gone with the Wind") for American culture, you may believe me: The significance of BSP for Russian culture is something like that. The song from BSP (lyrics by Bulat Okudzhava, music by Isaac Schwarz) became the best favorite song in Russia.

In 1995 BSP was voted and proclaimed the best favorite Russian movie.
