Samovars in The Last Station
The Last Station is a film about novelist and thinker Leo Tolstoy's last days. In the film, the actors frequently drink tea in the Russian style. They use a samovar, which boils the water, to prepare the tea. Instead of sugar, Russians often used jam, which they ate with a spoon directly from the jar. Michael Hoffman directed the film.
