My first impression (my "blink" impression ala Gladwell) is how cool most of them look. By now the aesthetics have long been incorporated by hip western artists. I've grown to love it, even though they are the artifacts of totalitarianism.
I've always wondered what happened to the apparently(supposedly) multitudious anti-Western/anti-Capitalist Soviet propaganda films.
That the '90s where supposed to make the '60s look like the '50s, I thought, for sure, that those films would have hit the local Multiplex36 during that time frame. But, alas, to the best of recollection, they did not. Obviously, I didn't think it was That good of an idea, at the time, maybe it should be reconsidered?
