WINGS OVER BERLIN
A WW2 HEROIC STORY
Since Hollywood is sleeping currently, your trusted spy is, as usual, taking you on a trip around the world to see new productions from all corners of the globe,
so after informing you about the new projects from Denmark, Hungary and Australia earlier this week, we are today moving to the Eastern Europe with two new historical movies. First one is coming from Russia celebrating their brave, heroic past. WINGS OVER BERLIN (Крылья над Берлином) already flew through their cinemas earlier this April coming from their celebrated director Konstantin Buslov whom we mentioned last year here as the helmer of another World War II movie
Kalashnikov about the inventor of their famous riffle which, invented to spread death among the enemy, actually saved many lives.
