Aroview: A beautifully sentimental Oscar winner for Best Foreign film - set during the 1988 Russian occupation of Czechoslovakia, when a middle-aged bachelor has his fancy-free life encumbered with the care of an abandoned Russian infant who doesn't speak a word of Czech.
Heart-breakingly human, this also resonates on romantic and socio-political levels, while taking splendid advantage of the Prague locations.

3 stars (Good Enough) Set in an interesting time and place, the screenplay is bearably soppy, and the central performance of Zden?k Sv?rák is a big plus. ~Tubbs
