Good actors, but it is communist propaganda. In Poland before 1939 communists belonged to prison as agents of foreign power (USSR).

Anybody knows that Tartu is the second largest city of Estonia (Baltic republic) ? It is the place of one of the oldest universities in Easter Europe, est. in 1600s. The old (germanic) name of the city is Dorpat.

I would include it to 10 worst movies I've ever seen - terrible acting, artificial dialogs, absolutely too much screaming. Those girls are in the jungle but with their hair style and clothing they look like they go to fancy party. 5 years of prison for director, 2 years for screenplay writer.

I've heard few good words about this movie. Finally I was able to sea it on Russian TV yesterday. I think the story is quite interesting - few veterans of WW II meet at the funeral of their comrade and fellow veteran. I would say there is several fine things about "Vokzal" - very good actors, nice cinematography, good music ... , but in my opinion is too nostalgic sometimes, quite overdone. The last part when they all sleep in one room, in small apartment is certainly overdone, although it gives us good idea about living conditions in USSR in early 1970s. There are several better Russian/Soviet films about WW II ("The cranes are flying", "Ballad of a soldier", etc.). The best of "Vokzal" is Bulat Okhudzava song "Nam nushna odna pobeda".
