The shadows of men are repeated at all times. Today I accidentally watched the film-performance of the Gardeners. I've seen him before, 40, 50 years ago. I kept watching. Gorky is a great writer of Russia and not only. His pen conveys so real and those distant times (life, political situation, nature), and most importantly, a person, his attitude to life. And in many ways, people today feel the same feelings as then.
But let's get straight to the movie. The cast is great. Each of the stars has long been honored. The direction of Babochkin does not give any breaks either in action or in the rhetoric of the actors. Very picturesque and appropriate scenes of the performance-film. It's a pity it's black and white. Gorky ' on paper ' perfectly describes nature. Maybe someday they'll translate the film into a color image.
I am not a humanitarian, much less a critic. And I'm over 70. Perhaps it was possible to analyze this work in more detail. I want to say the main thing. The film stirred up not only memories, but also touched the head in terms of understanding life. Excellent work. How do we get it to the young people?
