These harsh realities are every bit as troubling to oilmen as to anybody else. They chafe at charges that they belong to some sort of seamless monolith, and they are bewildered by the public's suspicions. The dismay is understandable.

Communicating through interpreters, he seems to have established an intuitive rapport with the cast. The actors get under the skin of an alien culture and, with seamless ensemble work, translate Russian characters and responses in supple body English...
