Burnt by the Sun
Burnt by the Sun 2 (, translit. Utomlyonnye solntsem 2: Predstoyanie) is a 2010 Russian drama film directed by and starring Nikita Mikhalkov. The film consists of two parts: Exodus (2010; "Предстояние", literally 'Prestanding') and "" (2011; "Цитадель"). It is the sequel to Mikhalkov's 1994 film "Burnt by the Sun", set in the Eastern Front of World War II. "Burnt by the Sun 2" had the largest production budget ever seen in Russian cinema ($55 mln), but it turned out to be Russia's biggest box office flop, and received negative reviews from critics both in Russia and abroad.
