| Siberiade | comment |
Siberiade (Сибириада, Sibiriada) is a 1978 Soviet epic drama directed by Andrei Konchalovsky. It is the story of life in a small Siberian village over three generations and sixty years, 1904-1964.The small village of Yelan lies by a river in the heart of the Siberian taiga. It is isolated and remote, cut off from the outside world by the sheer vastness of the Russian steppe. The story begins in 1904, and focuses on two feuding families, the Solomins and the Ustyuzhanins, with the former being the richest family in the village and the latter being poor. Afonya Ustyuzhanin is something of a Cloud Cuckoolander, who once lived as a hunter but now spends all his time building, by himself, a literal road to nowhere in the forest. Despite the enmity between the clans, his son Nikolai ("Kolya") falls in love with Anastasia ("Nastya") Solomina, who is also being pursued by Phil Solomin, one of her more distant relations. Kolya is banished from the village for pissing the Solomins off, but returns many years later with his son Alexei (Nikita Mikhalkov).Kolya embraced Red October with enthusiasm, and is now working for the Soviet regime, trying to find oil and natural gas deposits in the countryside around Yelan. Spiridon Solomin, Nastya's brother, hates him for taking Nastya away, and opposes his efforts to organize the village for oil drilling work. Kolya' son Alexei eventually falls for Taya, another beautiful Solomin woman, but The Great Patriotic War separates them.This film was a critical hit at Cannes. The main theme by Eduard Artemyev would later on be remixed by PPK into the song "Resurrection." | |

The Cloud Cuckoolander Was Right: The road that Afonya is hacking through the forest by himself for no damn reason winds up being the road that the government uses to facilitate access to the area, when opening it for oil exploration. | |

Elderly Immortal: Apparently the case with the Eternal Old Man, who is called exactly that in the credits. The old man, who seems to dwell in the forest, was an old man in 1904 and, much to Alexei's shock, is still an old man sixty years later. | |

Ghost Reunion Ending | |
| Siberiade / int_87021519 | comment |
Ghost Reunion Ending: At the end the oil well has struck a gusher, which means the dam won't be built and the local Siberian village consequently won't be destroyed to accommodate the artificial lake. As a bulldozer flattens the cemetery (the oil fire is too close), Phil the commissar sees the ghosts of his father and brothers, as well as the ghosts of Alexei his old friend and Anastasia (Nastya), the girl that he once loved. Nastya kisses him and Alexei gives him a hug. | |

Deliberately Monochrome: Both Kolya and later his son Alexei believe that the Devil's Mane, a swmapy area that the peasants are superstitiously afraid of, is where the oil and gas will be found. Whenever they try and go there, the film shifts from color to sepia tones, making the whole place seem very creepy. | |
