A movie that takes russians back in their time...

I really love this movie. Its tag - "Film for you and

about you" is really what it is. Unfortunately, this movie is for russians only, because it shows russian youth of 1977.

Must-see movie

One of the best movies I have ever seen. It is very different from mainstream films that you can see in most of the movie-theaters worldwide.

I think it will be interesting not to only Russians , but also to people of other nationalities who like independent films and watch something else apart from commercial blockbusters. Amerikanka is a film that tells about real feelings, about true love, friendship and faith, a film that will make you laugh and cry, a film that make you think and feel.

If you have a chance to see the film - don't miss it!

Worth seething for all those interested in Russia / ex-USSR.

The experiences of a teenage boy growing without parents in a backwater Soviet town in the 1970s. A realistic picture of the Soviet school. The title refers to a teenage game of betting (there's nothing American in the film).
