Local Hero -- aka MestnyiGeroi
Actually, the version I watched was in two parts, in total well over two hours.
Anyway, this one sneaked up on me in the last quarter of the movie. Some might roll their eyes at the facile resolution at the end, but I really loved the way the themes of lying and truth-telling (and morality and purpose and belonging) built, and inverted, and finally culminated. More charming than I expected! 3 years 8 months ago -
