Everybody make your own damn mind up.

Boycotting cultural works unrelated to this war crosses in the territory of fascism for me, so there is not much making of mind that I have to do.

It is fascist to decide to not watch movies made by fascists? People are free to not read feminists books and most of them don't precisely because of who authors are. But, why is willingness to go out of your way for art made by fascist always the mandatory test? (And yes the director counts in that category.)

Even Russians don’t really watch vanity garbage made by this director (Shakhnazarov).

The only reason he gets huge budgets and heads state filmmaking companies is because he’s an enormous Putin and war supporter.

I wasn't referring to this movie in particular but just culture in general.

But that also applies to this movie if the creators ideology hasn't leaked into it. Haven't watched so can't say.
