Quiz
Starting with the comedy "Don't Cry!", the credits of the director's films include a certain Rene Khobua who was involved in the episodes, but there was no real actor with that name. In reality, Rene Khobua was a Georgian builder whom Georgiy Danelia and Rezo Gabriadze met in a hotel while working on the film. They tried to "test" their script on him, while at the same time taking him to feasts with friends. Khobua listened to them obediently until it became clear that he did not know Russian well (the script was written in Russian), but out of politeness he did not mention this and simply praised everything that Gabriadze and Danelia wrote. Gabriadze suggested inserting Khobua's name into the credits of the film, and thereby thank the builder. From Wikipedia.

8/10

Very unusual film but essential viewing.

I enjoy watching Soviet Cinema (including all of Daneliya's films, Mimino being my all time favourite Soviet film) but have never come across as odd movie as this (not his usual style), certainly not a happy film, and could be described as an outright gloomy narrative permeating virtually every moment (along with acute social observations, very acute).

Incredibly haunting music, compelling performances but for me the brilliance of this film is its portrayal of average Soviet life back in the early 80's - it is like somebody has taken a slice out of the time period and bottled it, for that alone I am eternally grateful, for the insights are priceless.

Much underrated in my opinion and a gem of late Soviet cinema, Evgeniy Leonov again shows his brilliance.
