A soviet movie about classes notwithstanding they don't officially exist (vhs)
12 September 2016
This is a true old soviet movie from the late 70s and watching it, I'm happy to be born in the West: I'm sure there was good people, happy feelings and true joy over-there but it doesn't skip the fact the society was bleak, gloom and conservative: in a way, the movie is like official propaganda and straight to party line as the story depicted here is deeply moral: when the young woman changes her identity while living temporarily in this luscious apartment, she ends up a single mother. Years later, as she is hard working, the small worker has become the top director! As an usual Russian movie, we have a lot of meals, music and country trips. The actor are really convincing, the songs have this Slavic sad beauty and most of all, it was finally a time with care, values and good fashion: no harassing mobile phones, no jeans, no sneakers or sportswear, no tattoos, no t-shirt, well another world as much faraway as close….
