Over 80,000 French cinema goers have seen a French film named In Siberian Forests telling about Russian nature within the first week of its screening, reports TASS. The film has become one of the most successful summer premieres.

The film made by Safy Nebbou tells about gorgeous nature of Russian Siberia. According to critics, the movie makes people “dream of visiting that Russian region”. The audience shares their opinion. Those who come to cinema theatres expecting to see something special do not feel disappointed after they have seen the film.

The film is based on a book by a writer and traveller Sylvain Tesson published several years ago. According to the director, after choosing the book that was a big success with the readers as a base for his film he decided to make some differences to the plot as he believes that “cinematography requires something special” especially when the movie deals with Siberia.

The film made by Safy Nebbou is characterized as his confession of love to Siberia. The director says that while making his film staying away from urban life he felt he was absolutely free. Rafael Personnase the featured actor of the film was captivated by the beauty of Russian nature. The actor who has appeared in a lot of movie made in different countries said that he “would never forget his work in Siberia”.

Unlike the book, there is a new character in the movie whose part was played by a Russian actor Yevgeny Sidikhin.
