Window to Paris

Window to Paris (Russian: Окно в Париж) is a 1993 Russian comedic drama film directed by Yuri Mamin.

Plot

In the film, which is set in the 1990s, a magical portal connecting Saint Petersburg with Paris is discovered. The main character, Nikolai Chizhov, is a school music teacher and a member of the Russian intelligentsia.

Reception

Mamin considered it unfair that the film was not chosen as the official Russian submission for the 1994 Academy Award for Best International Feature Film, asserting that this was due to the personal and political influence of Nikita Mikhalkov.^[1]^[2]^[3]
