As you can get, I did like, saying that the docustyle works exellently at this films.<br />Poland, Romania and Hungary (I'm a bit surpised that you haven't heard about the book) are good films, but both of them have to many "but" to became "great".<br />My favoutire film from those 19 (I've seen 8 of and till the deadline, I will catch at least 3 of them: Russia, Ukraine and Croatia).<br /><br />P.S. Luxembourg is availiable in Itunes only through Australian, Canadian or French shops...<br />Croatia is also availiable on DVD with English subtitles (but it's a hell task to find one, a good thing that my local dvd library got it).Spartakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02440700196844950543noreply@blogger.com
