Une journée tranquille à la fin de la guerre (en russe : Спокойный день в конце войны) est un court métrage de guerre soviétique sorti en 1970. C'est le film de fin d'études du réalisateur Nikita Mikhalkov produit par les studios Mosfilm.

Synopsis

À la fin de la guerre en 1944, dans un coin du Front de l'Est où les activités militaires semblent avoir cessé, deux soldats soviétiques blessés attendent les secours dans une église abandonnée. Ils se retrouvent en possession de plusieurs caisses contenant des tableaux volés abandonnés par les Allemands. Alors qu'Andreï les met à l’abri en vue de préserver le bien de la république, son compagnon, sergent Kolia ne partage pas son enthousiasme, il ne pense qu'à partir. Une voiture arrive avec un expert d'art envoyé par les autorités qui demande à examiner les peintures. Andreï refuse de rendre les caisses sans documents. Kolia profite de cette occasion pour se faire transporter à l'hôpital, une jeune militaire lui cède sa place dans le véhicule. Restés seuls, les jeunes gens font connaissance. La fille s'appelle Adalat, elle est originaire de Kazakhstan. Andreï accroche quelques tableaux sur le mur de l'église et propose faire une escapade vers la rivière. À leur retour, ils entendent et aperçoivent quelques soldats allemands qui ont découvert l'exposition improvisée. Adalat supplie Andreï de se cacher, mais celui-ci ne compte pas laisser le trésor à l'ennemi. Profitant de l'effet surprise, il abat les Allemands un à un jusqu'à ce que plus personne ne se manifeste. Andreï tente de sauver les tableaux de l'incendie qui vient de se déclarer dans l'église, quand un coup de feu retentit et le fait s'écrouler. C'est le dernier des pillards qui aussitôt prend la fuite à travers les champs. Du haut du clocher Adalat le voit et lui tire dessus, mais manque de l'abattre et il disparait. Un moment plus tard, les tableaux retrouvent leur place dans la caisse. Adalat est seule. Une voiture passe au loin. Alors pour appeler à l'aide, la jeune femme remonte sur le clocher et la sonnerie des cloches fait écho à son état d’âme.

The story is set in a prisoner of war camp in November 1920, in the Crimea, after the evacuation of the White Army, with several dozen thousand of White officers left behind on the peninsula. The officers are unaware of their impending doom, waiting for their fate to be decided by the Red Army officials. One of them —an unnamed captain (Mārtiņš Kalita) —is haunted by the memories of a dramatic and brief romance of 1907 and tries to understand how the Russian Empire fell apart and who is to blame.

Anna: 6-18 décrit l'URSS, puis la Russie, de 1980 à 1991, au travers du regard et des impressions d'Anna, la fille du réalisateur, âgée de 6 à 17 ans. Les images familiales ont été en partie tournées clandestinement, avec des chutes de pellicules récupérées par Nikita Mikhalkov. Le documentaire intègre des images d'archives sur l'URSS et des images d'actualité. La censure, la perestroïka, la glasnost, la fin de l'Empire soviétique, la chute de Mikhaïl Gorbatchev et l'occidentalisation du pays sont évoquées et analysées par le réalisateur.

The film begins in 19th century Saint Petersburg, and examines the life of Ilya Ilyich Oblomov, a middle-aged Russian nobleman. Slothful and seemingly unhappy, Oblomov spends much of the beginning of the film sleeping and being attended to by his servant, Zakhar. In an attempt to get him more active, Andrei Ivanovich Stoltz, a Russian/German businessman and close friend, frequently takes Oblomov along with him to social events. Oblomov is introduced to a cultured woman named Olga, a friend of Stoltz. When Stoltz leaves the country, Olga is left with the task of civilizing and culturing Oblomov while he lives nearby. Olga and Oblomov eventually fall in love, but upon Stoltz's return, Oblomov moves back into town, eventually severing ties with Olga. Stoltz and Olga eventually marry, and Oblomov subsequently marries the woman with whom he was living, Agafya Matveyevna Psehnitsyna. The two have a son, and although Agafya has two children from a previous relationship, Oblomov treats them both as if they were his own. Oblomov is satisfied with his life, although it "lack[s] the poetic and those bright rays which he imagined were to be found.
