This modestly budgeted, made-for-TV romantic comedy became one of the most popular films in the former Soviet Union and a staple of TV broadcasts on New Year's Eve. It's based on the premise that modern apartment complexes look so much alike that one cannot distinguish one city from another. On New Year's Eve, Muscovite Yevgeny Lukashin finally dares to make a marriage proposal to Galya. They plan to celebrate the New Year together quietly, but Lukashin's friends convince him that first he should attend their annual meeting at a bathhouse. The meeting quickly turns into an improvisational bachelor party for Yevgeny. Having consumed large amounts of alcohol, they cannot remember which one of them was supposed to fly to Leningrad to meet his wife. So they put the sleepy Lukashin on a plane. Upon his arrival in the Leningrad airport, Yevgeny gives the taxi driver his Moscow street address and the cab takes him to an apartment complex located on a street with the same name. The building looks very much like his own, so Lukashin, still not quite sober, does not realize that he is in another city...
The Idiot (ÐÐÐÐТЪ) is a costume drama TV series produced by Telekanal "Rossiya" in 2003 based on Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel with the same title. The series was branded by the novel's original pre-1920's orthography title "идÑоÑÑ" (in all caps) instead of the current "идиоÑ" as one will find it on the bookshelves in Russia (to promote the atmosphere of the tsarist time when the film's plot takes place).
A Finn preparing a work on the Russian hunting traditions and customs, comes to Russia to collect materials and is invited to take part in a hunting party. His flamboyant companions include an Army general, with more than a passing resemblance to Aleksander Lebed, a police detective, local forest ranger (a devotee of Zen Buddhism) and some big-city types from St. Petersburg. Inevitably, their good intentions soon give way to endless drinking, visits to local farm girls and much else besides. But still he doesn't regret about wasted timeâ¦
This story, both happy and sad, is based on the popular fairy tales by Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen. Two parallel story-lines develop in this film. At a roadside inn, the puppets play out for their master a merry, magic fairy tale about a brave soldier and a wicked princess, a witch and a kind wizard, and a fantastic city where a ridiculous and silly king lives. The puppet show has a happy end. The filmâs other story-line is different, with much more sad lyricism in it. In real life, unlike the puppet show, the relationship between the young puppeteer and his beloved is not that simple.
Set during the Russian Civil War of the 1920s, this film tells the story of four young friends who make it their business to infiltrate Ataman Burnash's band in order to avenge the death of one of the friends' fathers. The teenagers nearly reach their goal, but one of them is captured. He is sentenced to death, but he certainly won't be executed if the other Avengers have anything to say about it.
