Finest, the Brave Falcon
This fairy tale film is dedicated to the memory of the great film director Alexander Row, the founder of the genre. Once upon a time there lived a brave and kind hero named Finist the Bright Falcon. He was famous for his strength, courage and a heart of gold. But one day the Russian land was attacked by an evil enemy, Kartaus, who turned our hero into a forest monster. This spell was cast on a condition that Finist might become a man again, should a beautiful girl, Alyonushka, fall in love with him while he was a beast.

Memorable, crazy movie
Good concept, poorly executed.
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
FINEST, THE BRAVE FALCON is another fairytale from Mother Russia. The hero is a little in the style of Robin Hood although the production has magical trappings and is set in a quasi-mystical landscape. The story is once again heroism vs. tyranny and the bald baddie makes quite the impression. As usual, Soviet ideals are espoused throughout, and the heroes manage to overcome imprisonment and oppression to win the day. It's a pretty eventful little movie, one which is unfortunately spoilt by an appalling English overlay dub in which they've left the Russian dialogue playing quietly in the background, which is really distracting.
