This is a very short black and white film. After seeing about 30 movies by Ken I decided to check all his works and luckily I found this one. Very good English humor can be found in this title. Ken's originality is easily recognized in the way the people are shown-always little bit far out dreamers and imaginative characters. What I really liked here is one invalid sex hunter. Once a woman approaches that middle aged beard male who becomes really active and catches the woman into invalid carriage. The main character is a looser on a bicycle dressed like a knight Some scenes are really unique and show the life in fantastic way For True Ken Russell's fans. www.myspace.com/neizvestnostlab

There were some really entertaining detective films in the USSR in 70s. This one was really popular and was shown all around the country. The story is about young police officer, who just started his hard career and wishes to face real criminals. The cases that the chief gives to a young officer seem too simple for him, but once he comes across real band of criminals and starts to follow its boss deep in the woods. I really enjoyed the music by Edward Artemyev here. Sometimes it sounds like space ambient, sometimes the great funk band plays, so the sound really drives here. Very good example of soviet action with humor and good script.

Well, I managed to see this rare film for children dated 70s made in the USSR, as the score was composed by great Edward Artemyev. The story is about a young artist (in his 14-15 years old)who meets a group of homeless kids, calling themselves "the goats". They invite the main character to live their way of life- just traveling on car without passport and making fuss on everything they meet. This is somewhat a criminals' beginning way in life. In the end we can see that crime never makes people real friends-their ways just separate and the guys return to their normal lives. I really enjoyed this old school film. great characters and situations.
