Alexandr Timoshkin Movies
- 1985
This is an imaginative, simply-told adventure story set in the time of the Middle Ages, when Kuksja (Alexandr Rimoskin) a young warrior from a Balkan village is kidnapped by marauding Vikings and brought back to the land of the fjords to become a champion of his now-adopted clan's cause. Once a major battle with Dane Vikings has been won, Kuksja goes to live on the estate of an important chieftain and becomes friends with his son Harald and daughter Signy (Petronella Baker). Soon Signy and Kuksja are romantically inclined, but Kuksja still feels his primary duty is to get back to his real home. In the end, something will have to be compromised.

- 1983
Mother Maria (Ludmilla Kasatkina) is so very saintly and predictable from the time she leaves her native Russia in 1917, through her establishing a home for Russian immigrants in Paris and joining the French resistance movement that it becomes hard to identify with her actions and decisions - even those made in the concentration camp. The real-life Russian poetess (Elisaveta Jurevna Kuzmina Karavaeva) must have had more depth. Director Sergei Kolosov has similarly not shown the less admirable side of French life during the war. In 1975, Sergei Kolosov worked with Ludmilla Kasatkina in Pomni Imya Svoye, a critically acclaimed war story that set standards this collaboration does not meet. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
