I'm not a big fan of films. Actuallly, I usually consider them as time-wasting and boring. Don't get me wrong, I like films and I do watch them, I just think they are all quite similar nowdays and rarely can they leave us breathless.
However, I wanted to write about few Russian films I have recently watched. Since I have started to learn Russian this semester, I thought that watching some films in this language would be helpful for my studies, but in the end I started to actually like them.
The first Russian film I watched was Piter FM . Its plot is pretty lyrical and interesting. The main characters are young people, Masha and Maxim. Masha is working as a speaker for Piter FM radio and is daily talking to the citizens of Saint Petersburg, including Maxim. Maxim is an ambitious architect, who received an offer to work in Germany and is deciding whether he should leave his country or not. They don't have anything in common until Masha loses her telephone in the crowd and Maxim finds it. From that moment on, they are constantly talking to each other. Even though they have arranged many times to meet, they never seem to notice each other. In their lives, crucial things are happening. Masha left her fiance, she has problems at work, Maxim's girlfriend is with another guy, he has to move out from his appartment... and the only one who is willing to listen is the voice on the other side of the line. During one of their usual conversations, Masha's telephone accidently falls into the river. Maxim is upset, but decides to call his favourite radio station and leave a message for a girl called Masha, who lost her 
telephone. Masha recongises his voice and the film finishes. In the end we can only guess what will happen. I really liked this film, because it is not a typical commercial film and it talks about faith. Maybe it's not so realistic, but I would certainly recommend it! Another Russian film that I liked even more is Ne skazhu or I won't tell. I'm not going to write about its plot, because it's far too complicated, but I'll tell you a little bit about it. There are only two characters in this film, Anna and Ivan. The film starts on the morning when the couple broke up. On that morning, they are meeting in their apartment to have a breakfast and talk about their relationship and one particular night. There are many flashbacks, which makes this film quite complicated and hard to understand. In the end, I was totally breatless and shocked. Therefore, I suggest everyone who likes mysteries and secrets to watch this unconventional film!
