Saw a Russian movie called The Cuckoo as a reward for making Part One defensible (although that was mostly through the aid of the darling Miss C in Paris). It was a very twee idea – three mutually unintelligible protagonists in Lappland during the second World War – a Sami woman, a Finnish man, and a Russian man. It could have just been cute and basta, but the actors were all so adorable in their ways, especially the lead actress, Anni-Kristiina Juuso. The music and boreal lighting was lovely too. I really recommend it; I think I can promise you’ve never seen anything like it. The pacing was odd, and maybe a bit slow in parts, but what can I say? Russian films are one of the reasons God gave us reefer.
