Info

This movie shows the simplest difference between Europe and former Soviet Union. It is the eponymous 89 mm - Russian train tracks are 89 mm wider than tracks in European countries. And because of this fact, it is not easy to go through the Soviet border by train in Brest as the passengers in the film do.

89 mm from Europe Audience Reviews

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
CookieInvent There's a good chance the film will make you laugh out loud, but if it doesn't, there's an even better chance it will make you openly sob.
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "89 mm od Europy" or "89mm from Europe" is a Polish/Russian black-and-white documentary short film from almost 25 years ago. It was written and directed by French-born Marcel Lozinski and brought him his only Academy Award nomination. The movie lost out to a civil rights documentary. But back to this one here. It runs for 12 minutes and tells us a bit about trains and differences in terms of railway size. I personally did not find it particularly interesting, not even with the historic context. This one is really only worth checking out for people with lots of interest in railways. Everybody else will not have a good time. Oh yeah, make sure you get subtitles if you decide to watch it. There are parts in several languages in there and you probably don't speak them all. My overall verdict is thumbs-down. I hope Lozinski's other works are superior.
