White Sun Of The Desert

One of the most popular Soviet films ever made, director Vladimir Motyl's surreal Red Western follows a laconic, seemingly unkillable Red Army soldier headed towards home as he tramps across the endless sands of Turkmenistan. He's diverted into guarding a harem of Muslim women caught in a struggle between a renegade Army unit and local Basmachi guerillas. Aka. Beloe solntse pustyni.
