The 2013 Cannes Film Festival is now well underway. No Russian films are in the competition section, as far as I know. However yesterday I saw a Soviet drama that won the Camera d'Or back in 1990.

The film presents a tough and unsentimental depiction of childhood through the eyes of 2 children (brilliantly played by Dinara Drukarova and Pavel Nazarov) living in a small mining community not far from Vladivostok in 1947. The only game they play is called survival.
The sporadic storyline and black and white photography give a strong documentary flavour to the film. It's not an easy film to watch but it's well worth your time.
