Well I hear Burnt by the Sun 2 was a huge flop in Russian cinemas recently. The public aren't too enthusiastic about anything too official in the cultural realm.
Just about every industrialised country has incentives and tax breaks for cultural works of different sorts. The press release at the top of the thread could easily be a grant application to the film board of any number of countries. I did smile a bit at 'falsifiers of history'. When did they stop being 'bourgeois'?
Some of the replies in this thread (and one or two others recently) are way over the top. I don't see anything in this to justify mindless abuse of anybody's country. One or two posters seem to be on the look out for any excuse... not nice.
