I remember seeing a great Russian film on British television (c.4) in the 80's about an ornithologist who travels to a remote archipelligo and falls in love with a local woman. I know it's not much to go on but does anybody know what this is?
Thanks.

No not Greenaway, good as he and A walk is. The one I saw was definitely Russian and had a more straightfoward narrative. I think also it was in b/w.
Those were the days when C4 broadcast quality world cinema.

I was just thinking about how a bird watcher movie would work. Thanks for this recommendation.

sorry to hijack, but any general recommendations on what Russian films to watch if one is not familiar with them (well besides Tarkovsky...)
