During the time of the Russian Revolution, this southern Russian actor has grown fascinated with the idea of a “people’s theater,” and with art which mirrors the principles of the Revolution. He even calls himself “Iskremas,” which means “revolutionary art to the masses.” As he and his small group tour in their area, they are constantly in danger from the White counterrevolutionary forces but show great courage and determination. allmovie

The post Aleksandr Mitta – Gori, gori, moya zvezda aka Shine, Shine, my star (1969) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Two Soviet humans previously unknown to each other are transported to the planet Pluke in the Kin-dza-da galaxy due to a chance encounter with an alien teleportation device. They must come to grips with a language barrier and Plukian social norms (not to mention the laws of space and time) if they ever hope to return to Earth.

Quote:
Imagine Andrei Tarkovsky circa SOLARIS directing Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and you’ll come close to the existential weirdness of the wonderfully loopy Soviet-era sci-fi comedy KIN-DZA-DZA!Two average Muscovites – a plainspoken construction foreman (Stanislav Lyubshin) and a Georgian violin student (Levan Gabriadze) – encounter an odd homeless man on the street who asks, “Tell me the number of your planet in the Tentura?”In a flash, they’re teleported across the universe to the planet Pluke in the Kin-Dza-Dza galaxy – a Tatooine-like desert world whose inhabitants are hilariously noncommunicative (their main words are “ku” for good and “kyu” for very bad) and where common wooden matches are tremendously valuable. A deadpan, absurdist mixture of Kurt Vonnegut, Monty Python, Samuel Beckett and Jodorowsky’s never-made Dune where alien cultures are even more haphazard and WTF? than our own, the film is also a savage satire of bureaucratic idiocy and dysfunction no matter what political system you’re living under – or what planet you’re living on.

The post Georgiy Daneliya – Kin-dza-dza! (1986) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

This TV miniseries is based on the book “La légende et les aventures héroïques, joyeuses et glorieuses d’Ulenspiegel et de Lamme Goedzak au pays de Flandres et ailleurs”, by belgian XIX century author Charles de Coaster, which, in turn is based on the popular German renaissance text “Ein kurzweiliges Buch von Till Eulenspiegel aus dem Lande Braunschweig”, by Hermann Bote. The story is set at the time of religious wars and turmoils following the protestant reformation and the hero fights for the freedom of his country from Spanish occupation and from the holy inquisition. The fist parts of the film are devoted to showing the atmosphere of oppression in the Netherlands at the time, with people being reported to the inquisition by envious neighbors and burned at the stake on flimsy excuses, when the real goal is for the king to get hold of their riches. Obviously this must have been a “hot theme” for soviet citizens even in the seventies, and it might be the reason why the film is so effective, though I wonder how it passed censorship. The whole film is spectacularly shot, in the tradition of the best Russian film-making, but probably the most monumental scene is at the end, when Til drives a ship into a flooded town. This film is probably very hard to come by, unless you live in one of the ex-socialist countries, but if you do manage to see it you won’t regret it. Written by Livia (IMDB)

The movie graphically tells a story of a couple of orphans who grew up in Flemish town at a time of which burnings in a thick dirty air of suspicion, fear and everpresent chance to get caught and tortured and killed with or without reason. The movie is enormously atmospheric, grim and realistic. It emerges the viewer in a cold unhospitable, lonely world of small, frightened, bigoted people, who are ready to tell on anybody else just to get out themselves, of highstanding cruel egoistic rich, and among this – small light sparkles of people who are able to see through the thick smoke of hate and stagnation.
Filmed in a perfectly authentic surroundings, in an old town. In the leading role is Lembit Ulfsak, who later appeared as Paganel in “Searching for captain Grant”. Written by sunlion (IMDB)

The post Aleksandr Alov & Vladimir Naumov – Legenda o Tile AKA Legend About Thiel (1977) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Belorusskiy vokzal (1971)
Moscow, the Soviet Union. Summer of 1956 – eleven years after Hitler Nazis were defeated and buried. Four red army veterans met again at another comrade’s funeral. Aleksei, a writer. Viktor, a factory boss. Nikolai, an accountant. And Ivan, a mechanic. All graying and coping with post war life as best as they could. After the funeral, Nikolai invited his friends to go to his place. They experienced quite a few unexpected adventures on their way, including a bit of time in police custody…and ended up getting another comrade involved in the unplanned reunion. Reference of Belorusskiy Railway Station doesn’t happen until the last minute of the film. That’s where the victorious soldiers returned from war in the Spring of 1945.

The post Andrey Smirnov – Belorusskiy vokzal AKA Byelorussia Station (1971) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
A sympathetic, emotionally persuasive drama describing the friendship of four World War II veterans, their sudden reunion after 25 years and the subsequent effect of this occasion upon their thoughts and evaluations of the past and present. In a way, The Byelorussian Station is reminiscent of the poignant, realistic look at the returned soldier remembered in Wyler’s The Best Years of Our Lives. In this film, however, the sentiments are leavened by reminiscence and a touch of remorse, and the spectator must be prepared for a deeply moving cinematic adventure. Four friends, former front-line soldiers, meet again at the funeral of their old commander. Their shared mourning mingles with the joy of seeing one another again and, for a time, they forget the years of separation. However, the years soon make themselves felt as the men notice their age and changes in character, the different sorts of lives they have led. One has become the director of a large factory, another works as a repair fitter, while the other two are an accountant and a journalist, respectively. Gradually, the film illustrates what common bond exists between them besides memories. The director, Smirnov, concentrates intently upon his myriad personalities, and the reactions of these masculine, emotionally restrained characters illuminate, with humor and humane recognitions of universal behavior, the flexible boundaries of comradeship-in-battle and the rarity of sustained friendships kept alive by choice rather than by chance. An unexpected incident occurs that brings the four men together, working toward a common purpose—a young worker has an accident, receiving an electric shock while on a utilities job. The old veterans are reminded of their aid to each other’s wounds during the war, and the film reverts to the dreams they held just as they were returning home. The conclusion is spellbinding, including some documentary footage showing the welcoming of soldiers of the Byelorussian Station by their families—the whole truth is in these images, the truth of recollected pain and joy felt by anyone who has waited, searching for one face in a military crowd, not knowing which of these emotions will last forever.

Quote:
The 1975 film by Georgi Daneliya “Afonya” was an unexpected commercial hit in USSR. The main character Borshev A.N. is a locksmith who spends his free time, as well as working hours, drinking with his buddies whom he even doesn’t recognize the next day after another heavy drink. His wife leaves him, his boss places him on probation, his whole life is falling a part but he doesn’t realize it. There is only one person who can save him – nurse Katya whom he met on dances and didn’t pay much attention to… Daneliya manages to balance in the film satire and drama, quotes from the film gained a cult status in Russia and other former countries of USSR.
