White Sun of the Desert | comment |
White Sun of the Desert is a cult Soviet western-like action movie (since everything occured in the East, it is, in fact, the eastern), filmed in 1969. Director Vladimir Motyl had rewritten the screenplay of Rustam Ibragimbekov and made a lot of references to westerns (from both the United States and Italy). The film was prohibited from Russian cinemas at first, but Leonid Brezhnev, having once seen the movie at his villa, decided to allow White Sun to be released. The movie had broken the box office: Over 50 million tickets were sold.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The setting is the east shore of the Caspian Sea (today's Turkmenistan) where the Red Army soldier Fyodor Sukhov has been fighting the Civil War in Russian Asia for a number of years. After being hospitalized and then demobbed, he sets off home to join his wife, but is caught up in a desert fight between a Red Army cavalry unit and Basmachi guerrillas. The cavalry unit commander, Rahimov, "persuades" Sukhov to help, temporarily, with the protection of abandoned women of the Basmachi guerrilla leader Black Abdullah's harem. Leaving a young Red Army soldier, Petrukha, to assist Sukhov with the task, Rahimov and his cavalry unit set out to pursue the fleeing Abdullah.Sukhov and women from Abdullah's harem return to a nearby shore town. Soon, looking for a seaway across the border, Abdullah and his gang come to the same town...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

White Sun of the Desert / int_70ade2c4 | comment |
Culture Clash: The clash of progressive Communist ideals and patriarchal Central Asian mores is one of the driving conflicts (as well as a source of more than one humorous moment) of the movie. | |
