Thanking the author for this opportunity to read and review Colonel Stierlitz.
"Max Otto von Stierlitz (Russian: Шти́рлиц, IPA: [ˈʂtʲirlʲɪts]) is the lead character in a popular Russian book series written in the 1960s by novelist Yulian Semyonov and of the television adaptation Seventeen Moments of Spring, starring Vyacheslav Tikhonov, as well as in feature films, produced in the Soviet era, and in a number of sequels and prequels. Other actors portrayed Stierlitz in several other films. Stierlitz has become a stereotypical spy in Soviet and post-Soviet culture, similar to James Bond in Western culture." (Source: Wikipedia)
Robin Wyatt Dunn plays with the ghostly remnant of Semyonov's literary character and how! From page one on, it is superfast paced! So fast, it's crazy! Stierlitz is a handful. If I wouldn't have stepped on the brake, I would have turned out just as insane as he is! Or was this just a dream? I'm still not sure. What on the other hand is a lot clearer, is why we didn't see the zombie Stalin more on the foreground. Although this was something I initially wished for, before I understood he actually symbolizes how he somehow still tints Russia today.
Fascinating, but probably not to everyone's taste...
