Subtitles and original dialogue please.
21 February 2000 | by (Berkshires, MA) – See all my reviews

If at all possible try to see the film with the original language soundtrack and subtitles. The sound of the original Russian dialogue complements the stunning visual sweep of the film in a wonderfully satisfying way. The dubbed version on the other hand degrades the whole experience horribly.
