I want to remember you ... Interesting and imbued with deep feelings film. But, as sometimes happens in films that show the lives of heroes from birth to... – the film is not equally emotional throughout. The first third is a real lyrical film story about the first feelings, about the first love - undisturbed, sincere and ringing-crystal, and therefore - very fragile and vulnerable. The second third is the harsh realities of “remnants of the past”, which, it turns out, are not even remnants at all, because family despotism did not disappear anywhere – in the East it was what it was, and remained, only slightly “veiled” in favor of the trends of the time. The last third is the weakest in the film. She looks far-fetched in many ways. Sometimes it seems that the finale was written by another writer and directed by another director. It's 1985. After the election of Yuri Andropov as General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee in 1982, the investigation of corruption abuses in Uzbekistan received a new impetus. The cases that were conducted by T. H. Gdlyan and N. V. Ivanov, who headed the commission on investigation of abuses in cotton growing of Uzbekistan in early April 1983, became “thundered”.
It seemed to me that the finale was written specifically “for this case”, so it looks crumpled, turning a soulful lyrical story into an almost political thriller. At the same time, the film cannot but like. Larisa Belogurova played Ulfat flawlessly. I cannot say the same about Timur Ismailov’s role, Fakhraddin Manafov. Some Timur isn't impressive. Probably, it’s all about the character who lived on the screen for years lost much of what so attracted the viewer in his appearance at the very beginning. Beautiful episodic roles in Rustam Sagdullayev and Borislav Brondukov. Car repairman Rustam performed by Sagdullayev is still the same shy “Romeo” from the wonderful tape of Leonid Bykov “Only “old men” go to battle”" (1973). If he is 10 years younger - a better life partner for Ulfat and can not think of! Borislav Brondukov as the master of “Uncle Sasha” is a real soul-man! Just a few episodes, and a fully completed image. It is a pity to state, but the final director frankly failed - too much pathetic, and in fact the film was shot, first of all - about love.
