Est-Ouest (1999) **

Directed by Regis Wagnier. With Sandrine Bonnaire, Catherine Deneuve, and Oleg Menchikov. A French woman (Bonnaire), married to a Russian physician, comes to live in the Soviet Union in 1946, and soon bitterly regrets her stupidity. The Stalinist oppression is exposed once again in this slow-moving, often touching drama about love, freedom, injustice and cruel deception. It could be seen as a sequel of sorts to "Letter To Brezhnev".
