Chempion mira

This is one of the few great chess game films that also gives a good outlook on what the soviet society was doing to people's behaviour. This movie is slow, smart and very, very intelligent. I really enjoyed it, but you have to be very patient and attentive to appreciate it.

One thing I found inappropriate was the disturbances created by Karpov opponent to affect Karpov's sleep which did not make much sense. Other than that, I think the plot was interesting enough to keep me interested for the entire 2 hours and 24 minutes.

Whoever likes chess and psychology of complex characters will be interested by this movie. People who like action movies, just skip this one, it is too slow for action seekers.
