Piter FM
I found the film Piter FM was entertaining though it wasn’t as intense or thought provoking as some of the previous films we have watched. It really had nothing to do with politics in any form and it didn’t really relate back to Russian or Soviet History. I agree that the star of the film Piter FM was the city of St. Petersburg. Throughout the film there was great shots of the city that really captured its “personality.” I found the dynamic between Masha and Maksim quite interesting. They get so close to meeting and you expect them to figure who one another is but they get so close yet really so far. They’re relationship in a way reminded me of a pen pal as they had never met each other but had simply talked through the phone.

There's no doubt that the film doesn't dig too deep--it largely scratches the surface and prefers to sketch out the details of the surrounding town and the types of people you can see in it, particularly when the weather is relatively warm. And it's really true that in the summer you *always* have to carry an umbrella with you in St. Petersburg...because a sudden downpour can hit you from seemingly nowhere.
