The way of Lyudmila Gurchenko in the cinema: strange dreams Creative freedom has no limits. Here are the creators of this tape to shoot a lyrical comedy about collective farm life in the Kuban. But I don’t think they really wanted to make a romantic musical. How can this be combined? Add a little imagination and everything will add up to a puzzle.
The harvesters to the music harvest the harvest. The villagers admire the Krasnodar region. In the play, Romeo makes a confession to Juliet - the audience is enthusiastically and enchantedly silent. Trucks do strange dances. The knight protects the girl. Such a cycle is quite logical - it is nothing more than dreams, summer dreams of collective farmers. The grotesque can be theirs too.
Against this background, women face men. Irreconcilable war of the sexes. One invites a friend home while the husband is gone, and the other, and does not bring the husband his presidency. A man is forced to remember his Cossack roots and endure when brought to a boil spouse in underwear runs away from home. Frivolously, even went, but realistically.
- The house was abandoned. She turned me into a domestic servant. What a wife you are. You're the president, not the wife.
- Come on, come on, criticize me. Go sleep on the couch. By morning you will know what you are.
Look at the color selection. What a bright golden grain harvest harvest harvesters. What about truck drivers' clothes? It consists of bright orange and yellow colors. Do not forget about the bright red background of the interiors in the theater. All this comes to the logical conclusion - a dance number in which all participants of the action will dance in bright monochromatic clothes. Yellow, pistachio, purple blouses for ladies, golden shirts for men. This is no longer a flight of fantasy, but creative courage, stylistic oxymoron, kitsch.
Special attention should be paid to the dialect. This is exactly what people in the village said. Performers of the main roles – Natalia Fateeva and Lyudmila Gurchenko were born in the neighboring region – I assume that not without enthusiasm they reproduced familiar intonations. It is difficult to recall a film where in their speech there would be a characteristic “shock” and “gakaniye”. This was not the case in Soviet cinema.
Of course, the tape lacked plot and intrigue, but the bold style smooths a lot. The authors decided to make the most ordinary genre comedy of the collective farm memorable. Well, the stars, Gurchenko and Fateeva exclusively on their charisma pull all this surrealism to a decent level. As a result, we get the following: the tape is not at all interesting, but since it is equipped with many expressive and even unusual scenes for Soviet cinema, it can be considered a special genre phenomenon. Without watching this film, you will not be able to form an objective opinion about Soviet musical cinema.
