http://kino.reticulator.com Superficial comments about movies (mostly Russian ones) and languages Sun, 05 Feb 2012 07:05:27 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 http://kino.reticulator.com/2007/09/05/depuis-quotar-est-parti/ http://kino.reticulator.com/2007/09/05/depuis-quotar-est-parti/#comments Wed, 05 Sep 2007 07:04:43 +0000 Reticulator http://www.reticulator.com/2007/09/05/depuis-quotar-est-parti/ [...]]]> We started watching this one tonight. So far it’s a good movie no matter what language the characters are speaking — heading towards a Netflix rating of 5 from me — but are we sure the only two languages being spoken are French and Russian? So far it seems the granddaughter tends to speak French and the mother Russian. The grandma speaks French with her beloved son, and Russian with some of her friends/family. (The sweet grandma defends Stalin and her hard, antagonistic daughter calls him a murderer.) There’s a lot of Russian I don’t understand (French, too, for that matter) but there is some talk in this movie that’s complete gibberish to me. Is it Georgian? From the subtitles I’d expect to understand a few words of it if it was Russian or French, but I don’t follow any of those parts at all.
