Quiet Flows The Don (2006)
Original title: Тихий Дон
Quiet Flows The Don is a 2006 Russian-language drama movie directed by Fyodor Bondarchuk and Sergey Bondarchuk, with a running time of 2h 56m. It stars Rupert Everett, Delphine Forest and F. Murray Abraham.
With World War I, the Bolshevik Revolution, and the Russian Civil War as backdrop, it's an old-fashioned, blood-and-guts narrative, filled with earthly humor and a wealth of colorful characters.
