The Admiral
A lavish romantic drama and historical fiction centered on Admiral Kolchak (Konstantin Khabensky), a WWI war hero and naval commander who played an important role in the 1917 revolution and the ensuing Russian Civil War. Kolchak's physical participation in the fight against the Bolshevik regime is emotionally paralleled by his relationship with Anna (Elizaveta Boyarskaya), the wife of his best friend. Their journeys beautifully intertwine to create a romantic image of the White Army and the Provisional Government while vividly portraying all the horrifying details of that tumultuous period in Russia's history. At the time of its release, this marked the most expensive film ever produced in Russia, with a budget of around $20 million.
