Chiko

Just a small note: Der Spiegel has a positive review of the Hamburg gangster film Chiko, with our favourite German-Turkish-Italian actor Denis Moschitto and German-Turkish actor Fahri Ogün Yardim. Tinet wrote more about them.

More Cute Singing Russians



From the adventure film Bumbarash (Бумбараш, 1971). Aleksandr Khochinsky sings (as the character Levka Demchenko). I don't know much about the film, but it's set in the Civil War period and the main character Bumbarash is returning home from a POW camp in Austria after the First World War. It's based on the works of Arkady Gaidar. I get the feeling there's an Ukrainian thing going on here.
