no economic incentives
they also don't receive state gibs and even if they made the best movie ever they wouldn't be able to monetize it because of western sanctions

>>208095399
Russia produced a few good movies in the 90s, then Putin came in and put the media under state control and they've been making slop ever since, mainly shitty WW2 fantasies and copies of Hollywood capeshit.

>>208095399
I've watched a lot of comedy starring Russians lately.

But they are

>>208095399
Directors under Soviet Union had creative freedom as long as they don't directly criticized the communist party. But now they had to make movies that surely will bring profit

>>208095399
Because capitalism.

>>208095399
They used to be classically trained in soviet era. Now even non actors, celebs can do acting. Identity crisis is part of it.

>>208095399
Ukrainian drone vids these guys are starring in are kino though.

>>208095399
Totalitarian oligarchy with little artistic freedom allowed or supreme retard monke will have a shitfit and kill you. The US is well on their way to becoming this shithole.

>>208095399
>They have the settings (St. Petersburg for example)
A setting doesn’t make a great movie, you can make kino in buttfuck nowhere
>they have 140 million people
Mostly low iq mongrels and drunk violent people
>they also have the spirit of great composers
What does that have to do with anything?
>they have a top 5 beautiful language
lmao fuck off

>>208095399
I saw Brat, not the big shit as some retards portrait it (was was a 6.5/10)

UKRAINE

FUCKING

LOST

>>208095399
They never produced anything worth a fuck and aside from Come and See all of the “good” Soviet movies are only “good” because of propaganda and Soviet thought control and social conditioning.

Tarkovsky was the closest they got to a master filmmaker and he hated the Soviet system and fucked off when he got the opportunity.

Russia has been a permanent state of brain drain since the serf times. They’re a culture of uppity ditch diggers.

>>208095399
>why cant russia make anything when they're not parasitizing their neighbors by taxing them to death
gee thats a thunker

They still make tons of movies wym

>>208095399
>Why aren't they producing kino anymore?
They're not producing it, but they're certainly the main actors in most Ukrainian kino

Actually, their own government has decided recently that there's only about 10 films released in Russia in the last 10-15 years that can be recommended to be watched by their youth. The vast majority of the list are films from 1920-1960s. It was kind of a funny thing, so if you speak dog language you can easily find it online.

>>208095399
No more endlessly rich patrons to fund their pals to make kinos for the culture war vs America

>>208097518
It's 5 films in 15 years, lol, not 10.

garbage

>>208095399
Nepo-babies and state corruption everywhere. The state is a main movie sponsor in Russia, and you can get money if you know right people, even if you are an untalanted hack.

>>208095557
Basically this. Some good indie movies pop up occasionally but they're all exclusively about how shitty life is

>>208095399
If you've ever been to Russia, you'd know why. It's the most debased shithole in the world, totally devoid of any soul and completely broken by years of economic hardship. Communism was the only string holding it all together, and without it the whole country has fallen into ruin. It's why Russia leads the world in suicides, alcoholism, smoking rates, and human trafficking.

>>208095399
They are a dying empire

>>208097186
they do some violent black comedies but i haven't checked those. with all their myths + large swarths of land, where are the horrors?

What is up with this faggot ass thread full of anti russian political shills? Shut the fuck up

>>208095399
Those Slavniggers went from being one of the world great communist powers to being a run of-the mill oligarchic third world capitalism.
Everything seems like a cheap parody of America.
It makes sense that they would be on the same wavelength with someone as retarded as MIGA.

>>208098566
russia is superpower dude!!!!
