I did not know about the banya fight scene in Eastern Promises, and now I need to watch that. My favorite banya scene in literature is in Disappearing Earth by Julia Phillips. We need more banyas and scenes in them. I have complicated feelings about Russian men, which were on full display when I watched Anora, which I loved. Also in that category of complicated love for a fictional Slavic man: Boris in Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch.
gray's Two Lovers is my Little Odessa. And eastern promises is my christmas movie
