A sweeping romantic epic.  The Barber of Siberia is an ambitious portrait of pre-revolution Russia played out against a romantic love story.  The story is told as a woman writes a letter to a West Point cadet, telling him a sprawling tales that begins in 1885 when a young American woman, Jane (Julia Ormond), meets a  high-spirited Russian cadet, Andrei (Oleg Menshikov) on a train bound for Moscow.
 
The film has a real sense of scope and history and features an outstanding performance by Julia Ormond alongside Richard Harris.
 
A huge cast, wonderful directorial touches by Nikita Mikhalkov and a continual stream of real life humour that makes the characters and situations interesting and engaging turn this into a stunning take of passion and honour.
