“Firebird,” the debut feature from Peeter Rebane, is a clockwork romance about the secret love affair between Private Sergey Serebrennikov (Tom Prior) and his superior, Lieutenant Roman Matvejev (Oleg Zagorodnii), in the cutting cold of a Soviet-Estonian Air Force base.
Teeming with all the usual corny plot twists and bromidic constructs, “Firebird” feels routine, straight from the assembly line, or whipped up in Romance Movies 101.
