Peculiarities of the National Ice Fishing

Peculiarities of the National Ice Fishing (2007), directed by Stanislav Mareev, is a Russian comedy you can watch online on iFILM — the fifth entry in the beloved «Peculiarities of the National…» franchise. Early nineties Leningrad. Old friends Zinoviy (Semyon Strugachev) and Tolyan (Andrei Fedortsov) take their battered car out onto the ice for a fishing trip.

The car — and the two of them — drifts out on a massive ice floe toward the open sea. No rescue in sight. So they fish, drink, and swap stories. Strugachev and Fedortsov carry the entire runtime on their chemistry; the ensemble includes Alexander Bashirov and Sergei Russkin. Stream this Russian comedy online on iFILM.
