Wonderful and bright cinema: a little very platonic melodrama, a little Gaidayev-comedic tinkering, a little pure principled Soviet-American sports relations of those years, ballet with basketball battles, generously seasoned with songs of Soviet composers – everything is mixed in this salad. Another video series is decorated with landscapes of Soviet cities, where the action takes place; Vilnius is impressive, consisting, judging by the film, - here is the renovation so renovation - of typical then panel residential buildings without architectural excesses: beauty in the Soviet way. The idea of flying characters between the cities of a large country a couple of years later was smacked, of course, by our filmmakers the creators of the film “ABBA”.
This film turned out to be the birthplace of a masterpiece, Pugacheva’s song “Goodbye, summer”, now seen as the most powerful in her work – shots from the film in which she sounds, and now look like a very good clip for her. The end of the film is decorated with a bright retro clip about love, one is to blame: Lyudmila Suvorkina shone, dressed with an ensemble and a backup dancer in the cute summer fashion of the 70s.
Over the edge of original-otherworldly “Sovietism”, almost deliberately. Sparks of irony, somewhere - on the verge of parody. “American” Pavel Remezov is something.
