What's an example of a movie review?
This is a truly remarkable piece of cinematic achievement. From the very start I was utterly hooked into the (true) story when Lt. Viktor Burakov (Stephan Rea) weeps while performing the autopsies on the remains of the children's bodies. This then is the compelling story of Andrei Chikatilo, wonderfully played by Jeffrey DeMunn (The Green Mile). In fact, he plays it so well and so sympathetically that the viewer almost starts to pity him, until we remember what he is. The psychiatrist Dr. Alexandr Bukhanovsky, wonderfully played by Max Von Sydow was utterly believable in every detail, and the point he makes when talking about paranoia in the Soviet Union, is made all too apparent by the behaviour of the local Communist Commissar Bondarchuk played by Joss Ackland. For me though, the outstanding performance was from Donald Sutherland, proving once again what a superb character actor he really is. I was almost in tears when he told Burakov how the FBI had so closely followed and admired his work. This film puts Silence of the Lambs into the shade, from the atmospheric and bleak Soviet landscape, to the superlative performances by everyone involved. 

I rate this film 10/10

Detta är verkligen en anmärkningsvärd filmisk prestation. Redan från början var jag helt inkopplad i (den sanna) berättelsen när löjtnant Viktor Burakov (Stephan Rea) gråter medan han utför obduktionerna på resterna av barnens kroppar. Detta är då den övertygande historien om Andrej Chikatilo, underbart spelad av Jeffrey DeMunn (Den gröna milen). Faktum är att han spelar det så bra och så sympatiskt att tittaren nästan börjar tycka synd om honom, tills vi kommer ihåg vad han är. Psykiatern Dr. Alexandr Bukhanovskij, underbart spelad av Max Von Sydow var fullständigt trovärdig i varje detalj, och den poäng han tar upp när han talar om paranoia i Sovjetunionen, blir alltför uppenbar av den lokala kommunistkommissarie Bondartjuks beteende som spelades av Joss Ackland. För mig var dock det enastående framträdandet från Donald Sutherland, vilket återigen bevisar vilken fantastisk karaktärsskådespelare han verkligen är. Jag grät nästan när han berättade för Burakov hur FBI hade följt och beundrat hans arbete. Denna film sätter Silence of the Lambs i skuggan, från det atmosfäriska och dystra sovjetiska landskapet, till de superlativa föreställningarna av alla inblandade. Jag betygsätter denna film 10/10
This is indeed a remarkable cinematic achievement. From the very beginning, I was fully connected in (the true) story when Lieutenant Viktor Burakov (Stephan Rea) cries while performing the autopsies on the remains of the children's bodies. This is then the convincing story of Andrei Chikatilo, wonderfully played by Jeffrey DeMunn (The Green Miles). In fact, he plays it so well and so sympathetic that the viewer almost begins to feel sorry for him, until we remember what he is. Psychiatrist Dr. Alexandr Bukhanovsky, wonderfully played by Max Von Sydow was completely credible in every detail, and the point he takes up when he talks about paranoia in the Soviet Union, becomes too apparent by the local communist commissioner Bondartjuk's behavior played by Joss Ackland. For me, however, the outstanding performance from Donald Sutherland, which again proves what a fantastic character actor he really is. I almost cried when he told Burakov how the FBI had followed and admired his work. This film puts Silence of the Lambs in the shade, from the atmospheric and bleak Soviet landscape, to the superlative performances of all involved. I'm grading this movie 10/10
