Cinema "Diamond Hand" is absolutely rightly considered one of the best films in the creative biography Leonida Gaidai. Surveys conducted among viewers indicate that this picture is recognized as the most beloved folk comedy of the twentieth century. But few people know that the story of the film could have been quite different. And the finale of Gaidai was prepared also very different, significantly different from what entered the picture.
The film Leonid Gaidai... And a little about "diamonds" tells a not comedic story about how the now legendary picture went to its viewer. About all the vicissitudes of the filming process and interesting nuances of the shooting tell relatives and friends of the director – his widow Nina Grebeshkova, actors Victoria Ostrovsky, Leonid Kanevsky, composer Alexander Zatsepin, son of the outstanding actor Yuri Nikulin Maxim. close

Ostensibly a non-narrative study of various aspects of a rural winter, this short film by one of modern Hungarian cinema’s greatest visual poets has all more
Ostensibly a non-narrative study of various aspects of a rural winter, this short film by one of modern Hungarian cinema’s greatest visual poets has all the spellbinding qualities of his better-known feature debut Sindbad (Szindbád, 1971), but here allied to a winning sense of humour that’s never quite allowed to detract from the haunting beauty of many of the images. The end of autumn is heralded by a few red leaves still clinging to a statue’s sculpted robes, while whip pans across the increasingly wintry landscape and close-ups of rippling water are given character by seemingly random freeze-frames and Zoltán Jeney’s electronic chirrups on the soundtrack. There are recurring shots of birds, migrating en masse, huddled by the icy water or lying individually dead, frozen stiff in the snow.
