  1. I admit to not having seen the film, so I’m only supposing here that the sermons mentioned would take place in a Russian Orthodox church. In which case they were not “randomly in Russian” but quite obviously in “Church-Slavonic” (sorry, I’m not familiar with the exact name of the language in English), which is not the same as Russian, and not necessarily even entirely intelligible even if you speak Russsian. Hence, completely understandably, church services that would be performed in a different language than the one otherwise spoken, were performed in a different language. If this had been in Italy, the pirests would still have spoken latin, no matter how much English or Italian the characters speak otherwise.

    1. Nice analogy.I like the way you use your language and non the less your diction and word demeanor.

  2. Talented Clemence Poesy? She was terrible, spoke too low, and was all wrong for Natasha. I don’t even think she’s that pretty. Worst casting decision since Gina McKee in the Forsyte Saga. Clemence was laughably bad.
