I watched the movie how life lived. This is the case. A wonderful film.
I ran into him about 5 years ago. He stopped. I took a good look. The quality of the shooting, the facial expressions of the actors, everything looks like an old Soviet film. But what a surprise I was when I realized that everything was going to change as the story went on. It is hard to believe that such experiments exist in modern Russian cinema.
The tape looks big. Despite the fact that almost all of it is filmed in one room. In the picture “The First of May” the viewer is a guest at the holiday “Spring and Labor”. Invited to the window in the front room to observe the history of the whole country and one simple Soviet family.
How voluminously there are morals, fashion, experiences, dreams. How alive are the events on the faces of the heroes of the film. Relationships of friends, couples in love, fathers and children, man and time. It's all in this movie.
Unfortunately, the film did not get the popularity it deserved. It is rarely shown on television. A lot of people haven't even heard of him. But if you are a person who is tired of everything that modern Russian cinema offers you. If you want to see something alive, real, humane. If you care about how your ancestors lived in our common (then still) country - the film "May Day" for you.
