One day last month I came across a treasure of a movie on HBO. It's titled Everthing is Illuminated. It's an independant movie based on the novel by Jonathan Safran Foer. It's te story of a young man who goes on a "very rigid search" for the woman who saved his grandfather's life during Nazi invasion. The story takes place in Ukraine. You get a good sense of the scenery (although I just found out they filmed in Prague - very similar countryside) and the culture. Liev Schreiber directed and wrote the screenplay for this gem. Once again, highly recommended. And, the music is great - a mix of folk and gypsy punk. Dyakuyu.
