Russian Angst

"The Last Station", a movie depicting Tolstoy's last year, proved a welcome relief on a wet Wednesday. It was showing at the, 'Luna on SX', one of the four or five Art House movie theatres in the Perth/Fremantle area.

My friends and I, one of them of Russian descent, really enjoyed the movie, although I did note that not all the reviews were as favourable as ours.

We commented on the scenery and cinematography, as well as the engaging character portrayals of the main characters by Christopher Plummer and Helen Miriam, over a late lunch at, Benny's, a popular bar/cafe, on South Terrace in Fremantle.
