Russian term or phrase: Вот и
Чужой глаз всегда выбирает самый красивый ракурс. Когда много лет тому мои фотографии Москвы увидела коренная москвичка, она сказала, что прелесть в облупившейся краске домов на Старом Арбате может отметить только турист, а не его жители, вот уже десятый год, добивающиеся у ЖЭКа капитального ремонта. Вот и у Раду Михайлеану с «загадочностью русской души» всё получилось, ведь он – режиссер румынского происхождения, пребывая во Франции, взялся за фильм о России.

CAn I translate it as "So much ..."?

So much Radu Mihaileanu pulled off the “mysteriousness of Russian soul”, as he, a director of Romanian origin living in France got to make a film about Russia.

Explanation:
Unfortunately, your own version is fairly ungrammatical. Use this, or what Mikhail suggested. By all means, feel free to replace the ame russe with mysterious Russian soul or whatever you like best here.

disagree  The Misha: Unfortunately, it isn't. It's just an ungrammatical sentence.

  -> So much Вам чем не нравится? При чем здесь структура предложения?
neutral  Mikhail Kropotov: Извините, но вариант аскера вовсе не хорош ровно по той причине, на которую указал The Misha, - он не отвечает нормам английской грамматики. Я не знаю, вроде бы, у нас перед глазами одно и то же :) А попробуйте построить с этой фразой предложение.

  -> Разве вопрос касался не перевода So much? При чем тут все предложение?

Likewise

neutral  The Misha: You misunderstood the original phrase. "The enigma of Russian soul" is not the name of the movie, it's just an abstract reference to a common cliche
