A remarkable film

Just seen on video: Letters From A Dead Man, a 1986 film by the Russian director, Konstantin Lopuchansky (an assistant on Tarkovsky's Stalker). Set in a post-nuclear war Russian city, where a group of survivors are sheltering in the basement of a museum. Shot in sepia. Remarkable closing sequence where a group of young children set out walking into the apolcalyptic future.
