FilmRUSSIA started right after the director received a phone call from a country teacher Mr. Tříska who found a journal of his grandfather who was captured in Russia almost a hundred years ago and later fought there as a legionary. The film follows his journey on the Trans-Siberian railway while the musician and amateur filmmaker enjoys random encounters. He travels as a cine eye-explorer, disguised as a cosmonaut with a video camera fastened on his helmet. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)

I already have some issues with Filip Remunda's filmography, but this time it's a major crisis. His film doesn't bring anything new about Russia that isn't already well-known from vastly superior documentaries and feature films from the past. Instead, it's full of posing, forced exaggerations, and, frankly, nonsense. If Czech documentary filmmaking stands high today, then this is its lowest level. Overall impression: 5%.
