Is there a (more or less) comprehensive list of Sovjet films that are on Blu-Ray?

Chelovek-Amfibiya is a certified CCCP classic. Too bad it is not English-friendly.

I will definitely pick up Andrei Zvyagintsev's Elena

I've just found out that Vladimir Korenev recently passed away.

What a shame; the BD review promises superb picture AND sound quality but no English dubbed track. It was mesmerizing when I first saw this on the late show in my teen years. I remember feeling for him when she pushed him away. Comparable perhaps in some ways to Shape of Water, but not that it matters. But without the original English dubbed track there's just no point. A great opportunity lost.

Great film, especially the Russian language version. At any rate though, for the those who only watch dubs, Sinister Cinema does carry the dubbed dvd in a 1:66 aspect ratio. Not sure if that is cropped or opened up, but most Russian versions I see are 1:37 1:33.

Perhaps Deaf Croc or someone can bring this film to English-subbed blu ray

This is a great film I would love to see in an English subtitle friendly release.
