Ask your own government that presents you that "world" stage.
most stuff coming out of there nowadays is either literal shit tier comedies or artsy slow paced depressing shit, which doesn't appeal to modern audiences
USSR movies are much better than current shit. Bring me back
Patrician taste would be defying the kind of movie qhich gives a watcher kind of headache but the curiosity overwhelms it and despite orgasmic nausea you still watch it like fuckin pavlov ape
all the smart people died and oligarchs took over
Switching from an oppressive regime to a "democratic" ruined their movies

The USSR had regulatory bodies whose primary function was indeed censorship, but also secondarily, quality control.
Modern Russia, not so much. The US is much the same case but we still get good films outside of the big blockbuster trash, because the industry is just big enough to support niche releases.
>the drivel you shat out
wojak with his mouth wide open
Guys?
The society is so corrupt that even government sponsored kino is pure trash. Or should I say especially government sponsored kino
They barely have enough money to eat where are they gonna take the budget from for moviemaking?
The movie Leviathan perfectly encapsulates the depth of corruption in today's Russia and the satellite states. Having lived there, I found nothing hyperbolic about that movie at all.
>The USSR had regulatory bodies whose primary function was indeed censorship, but also secondarily, quality control.
No. As with any regulatory body, most of the censors didn't know shit about quality.
USSR had a great and unique system where you had a nigh unlimited budget and resources as long as you passed the censorship by not shitting on the soviet way of life.
How did you manage to leave? Where are you now?
Usually the degenerate low-quality schlock gets filtered out because it shits on society with no nuance or intelligence
A lot of stuff that was critical of the SU got through anyway because it was good, and intelligent/subtle in its criticism.
They blew their wad on literature, music, and dance.
Can't excel at everything I suppose.
USSR still produced mostly shit muh gommunism social realism boring ass dramas, the rest of the eastern block (like Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia) all produced much better kinos
not talking about meaningless box office numbers. I mean the quality of their films. I can probably count the number of acclaimed post-soviet russian films that I've heard of on two hands. Am I just a pleb?
Currently in western Europe. Prefer to keep it at that.

>A lot of stuff that was critical of the SU got through anyway because it was good, and intelligent/subtle in its criticism.
I think most of that stuff was either banned or outright pulped on release, and only survived as contraband prints unearthed 10, 20, 30 years after the production wrapped.
Try reading some acclaimed Russian lit and maybe you'll see why. Same story for Russian composers. You already copped to the ballet thing.
I was born in USSR shortly before it collapsed. People are still extremely nostalgic for it and view it as a tragedy. Communist party is the 2nd most popular party in the country. Kys shart :)
No one bothers to translate/dub them
There is literally nothing to Soviet cinema other than Tarkovsky

What Soviet movies were ever relevant apart from a couple of directors like Tarkovsky? Even Battleship Potemkin is offensively crude propaganda that's not even nice to look at, unlike something like Triumph of the Will, which is at least aesthetic.

Yeah samizdat counts?
>I think most of that stuff was either banned or outright pulped on release,

It's because unlike socialism, capitalism incentives the creation of garbage that appeals to the drooling masses.
Potemkin is pretty basic compared to his subsequent work. Check out the rest of his films, particularly October and Ivan the Terrible parts I and II.

Modern Russian cinema went through three stages.
When the Soviet Union first collapsed, the directors became drunk with absolute unrestricted freedom and filmed some of the worst dogshit ever to have been filmed.
Then, for a while, there was no cinema in the country because its economy collapsed hard and it was unclear if Russia would survive at all.
When it recovered, the next generation of directors became obsessed with copying Hollywood. Needless to say, this didn't work put.
These days, the state is the main source of financing for the movie industry because most of the Russian movies are unprofitable. As a result, most movies have to be patriotic in one way or another.

Your timeline's a bit off.
Degen dogshit "dramas" (chernukha) started coming out in the late 80s during Perstroika. Some of those were obv in production during the fall.
1992 to about 2000-3 it was mostly no budget trash with a few gems, a really weird mix of soviet way of thinking with bits of mostly american pop culture resulting in an ugly shitty beast.
Sometime around 2004 came the first attempts at big budget action movies (9th Company and Nightwatch) and foreign-sponsored arthouse dramas (4 and The Return). Both directions are still developing in their own ways with mixed results + a huge mass appeal retard comedy category in between
You're forgetting the war movies and the animation, both are very big in Russia
War movies fall into the big budget action category, most of the time these days they're trying to ape Bay for some reason, and it always looks embarrassing

Any other Soviet cartoons to recommend other than Nu pogodi?
Yes, tons, Nu Pogodi wasn't even one of the best. Soviet Treasure Island is the best adaptation of the novel.
Modern Russian cinema is just average. It's not better or worse than most of the European countries. We have good arthouse directors (Sokurov, Zvyagintsev, Balagov, Bykov) and sometimes make good mainstream movies (Night/Day Watch, Turkish Gambit, The Duelist, Serebrennikov's Summer from rescent). That's not really much to discuss. Sure, our government sponsors a lot of "patriotic" movies but most of them are terrible and fail in box office. Eventually we will get rid of Putin somehow and will probably have a some new wave of Russian cinema, now is just one of the low periods.

No, no. There's so many pirate sites in Russian other than rutracker.

y'all plebs need to watch this like yesterday. It's the story of Russia up to the communist revolution filmed in the Winter Palace in St-Petersburg... in one 90 minutes take. There are thousands of extras, live orchestras and, again, it's in ONE LONG TAKE. They only had one day to film in the Palace and the madmen got it on the second try. It's EASILY one of the most technically amazing films I've ever seen.

I don't think the thread is about suggestions or great russkie movies. It's about why their output right now is shit.
Can't have people empathizing with muh evil Russians by exposing them to their kino. They have to remain the bad guy as long as boomers are alive.
It was made only because it's producer saw a music video on youtube and wanted to see a full length version of it, so he called the dude that made the youtube video and he had do talk him into making the movie.

Kino mafia. You won't be given government money for your movies if you're not a part of the click. Those who are a part of it - all terrible movie makers or just don't care since it's not their money(most of the time they're given out with no need to return anything, even if movie is profitable). And without government money - you're stuck making depressing low budget kino.
That's pretty much it.
Any other ex-soviet countries produce kino? Armenia, Kazakhstan etc?
They're coming back very soon
Thanks user, as you can tell, im way to sober now. But any ruskie thread still needs brat
In general one of the user's said its all about putin, and their government really suppressing stuff. Also I think the population also got dumber. But there are still gems being made but mostly in the CIS countries.
Even during the soviet union, there were dumb movies/tv shows but the good ones had the stuff that escaped the censors, which is happening now.
Like Peшaлa - is a good example of a recent film thats pretty good

Russian here, because it's shit. I have zero hopes for Metro 2033 movie adaptation because it's being done by Gazprom. They essentially are giving away Metro to fucking Comedy Club, and Russians here will know what it means. Their best thing to ever do is apparently Phys Ed Teacher TV show where Dmitriy Nagiev is playing a mobster from 90's who was fired by crime kingpin who is trying to do a legitimate business in modern era Nagiev doesn't understand, so he decides to infiltrate the school where the kingpin's fat daughter is and get her laid/lose weight to get back his job. That's the level of quality we are talking about.
Remember ZaSHITniki? Look at this dood, he has rubber fucking abs, CW capeshit TV shows wish they could be this bad.
Russian cinematography is absolutely bottom of the barrel 95% of the time, it's essentially Bollywood tier but without any singing and music. The only semblance of quality comes from indie filmmakers and little guys who barely manage to do short movies (like Papers Please was very enjoyable and makes you believe full fledged movie is possible, Igor Savochkin is also a good sport for doing that and was cast perfectly; or a short movie based on shitty Bubble comic Major Bolt, the comic is shit and movie is Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes-esque schlock, but it's competently made and beats out majority of real, major production, I'd take a mildly entertaining schlock over another romcom, or Armenian Jews trying to leech off capeshit fad).
That said, check out USSR movies, they are legitimately underrated besides the ones that did get international recognition. Check out excellent movie adaptation of Tomorrow Was the War which criticized USSR's system, check out impeccable adaptation of Dog's Heart (which also criticized USSR indirectly), check out movie adaptation of Sotnikov (also known as the Ascent because the movie director, she thought it'd be cool to make Jesus out of Sotnikov, but it's still a great movie).
Pure kino
Soviet cartoons has very weird catalogue of adaptations of Greek mythologies and most of them take risks and very unique, have art style that tries to mimic Ancient Greece's art and often contain nudity. I recommend checking out Hercules and Admetus just to check out one of the most popular adaptations, it's worth checking out for the art style alone and it is available in English.

>the state is the main source of financing for the movie industry because most of the Russian movies are unprofitable. As a result, most movies have to be patriotic in one way or another.

You mean, like the Leviathan or the Durak?
There were 2 kinds of soviet cartoons - your regular cartoons and arthouse acid trip.
Unironically because of what Georgy boy has said
Leto was Kino.
-_-
Even then Soviets actually managed to make movies that directly criticized the government, they had problems coming out for sure, but they still managed to do it.
I liked Method, some episodes were even based on an actual maniacs. I remember some cases from documentary series Criminal Russia.
