It was set in Russia so it had to end that way. #GorkyPark #TCMParty

Definitely not a Christmas movie, #GorkyPark may be a Halloween movie. #TCMParty

#NorthByNorthwest is great, but I wish they would have aired #TheIpcressFile and #GorkyPark earlier to give some primetime action to films less frequently shown. #TCMParty

A film that feels frozen, right down to its soul. Michael Apted’s procedural is a masterclass in bleak, authoritarian atmosphere (if you can ignore the British accents).

Today's autographed treasure from the archive: Gorky Park signed by Joanna Pacula.

I saw this one way back in the late 2000s, and I don't remember too much of it. Except there was a smuggling scheme of Russian fox-like animals?

#CrimeFilm #Noir #NeoNoir #Poliziotteschi #GorkyPark #Autograph #DVD

DVD of Gorky Park. It has William Hurt in the front and Lee Marvin with a revolver in the background. In black ink it is signed to nick - Joanna Pacula.

Amerikaan Martin Cruz Smith (1942-2025), begonnen als journalist, schreef vele bestsellers, soms onder verschillende pseudoniemen. Populair waren de avonturen van de Moskouse rechercheur Arkady Renko, waarvan #GorkyPark ook verfilmd werd, net als #EaglesWing
