Lanfranco C Original title: Siberian Education. The problems: slow develop and holes in the plot Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Artorius B A film that truely transports the spirit of dostojevsky, Gorky and Alexandrowich - the russian soul. The movie, even though it is a eastern gangster-drama, respects the russian way of storrytelling well, and that is why many Hollywood-spoiled viewers can't understand the pure poetry in that kind of story: 2 men, grown up in extreme poverty and crime, without any chance to get away from their misery - everyone of the two has nothing left but their own integrity, but the extrems they face, make them go in 2 diffrent directions. The one accepts his place in the criminal clan he was born into, the other abandons his criminal clan, but also loses his integrity and moral compass... Sadly, even though John Malkovic was a part of the cast, the movie was overseen. A shame. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Educazione Siberiana è un romanzo sul crimine, romantico e spietato allo stesso tempo. Il codice morale ed etico dell'etnia dei siberiani, viene impartito a due giovani ragazzi dal nonno di uno dei due, lo splendido John Malkovich, che dà vita ad un personaggio meraviglioso seppur non sfruttato a pieno. Nel finale si perde un po' di sprint, perchè la storia criminale viene sostituita da una semplice vendetta. "Un uomo non può possedere più di quanto il suo cuore possa amare". Nonno Kuzja spettacolo. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Scattershot story which is ostensibly about the journey of two compatriots with differing amounts of integrity in rough and tumble Siberia Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Hmmm....I don't know why I don't like this...I think it's because I don't buy the story...and it's definitely because of this terrible Russian accent everybody speaks with....it's like a bad German computer game dubbing Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Unfortunately a case where the re-naming does a gross service to the film - the original 'Siberian Education' is much more indicative of the content. Sure, there is some (brutal) violence on display but this is a beautifully shot film centred on community and tradition. Worth a shot on Netflix.
