In this Russian adventure, a young peasant proves himself smarter than a wily pair of wolves. The trouble begins when he is assigned to hunt and kill them. Since they are not easily shot, he decides to take a different tack and let the creatures get to know and trust him. The locals begin to mistrust the lad’s motives and think that he may be a little off. Fortunately, he proves himself by sneaking into the wolves’ den, taking a cub, and then killing the parents when they come back.

After a brilliant debut with Our Daily Bread (1965), co-directed with her husband Alexander Muratov, Muratova was allowed to make her own film, Brief Encounters (1967). On the surface the story was simple enough. Valentina, a conscientious civil servant in charge of the regional housing office, and Maxim, a geologist-prospector and guitar player devoted to an itinerant and adventurous life, have a difficult relationship – a series of brief encounters and lengthy separations. Their episodic meetings bring into focus their love and need for each other, but also their basic differences, disappointments, and resentment. There is a third character in this love triangle, Nadya, a country girl Valentina hires as a maid without knowing of her past relation with Maxim.

Fraud has always been a burning issue. The story could have taken place in any era. But the very title – “The Doll”, that is, a fake wad of money – points to our times. The character in the film is a hilarious sadist. It’s a perversion of the psyche that borders on insanity: “I hate my ex-wife so much that I’ll pretend to ennoble her and actually play a trick on her.”

About happiness and different ways of thinking about it. What is happiness? Do we know how to give it to those around us? Is there a justification for trying to make people happy for a few hours, ignoring moral principles and deceiving them?

Quote:
In the old days it was called hypochrondria, or black melancholia. Now, apparently, it’s termed the Asthenic Syndrome. Whatever it is, Nikolai, a teacher has got it, and it’s not much fun.
