Russkiy kovcheg (2002)

I watched this again on DVD the other day, and its just as stunning. In fact, its better the second time because I thought less about the obvious technical aspects and more about the film itself. What I also hadn't spotted before is the excellent sound. The DVD extras also showed that a lot of post-production was involved: not just the obvious colour balancing but also some subtle digital effects.
