Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

vitalyzator This movie is a kind of a fairy tail you would like to watch over and over again every year if you first saw it when you was a child, but probably would not like so much if you saw it firstly while being adult. The movie is just somewhat too naive. Still I would recommend it to everybody. It is very humane towards people rejected by society and it learns you never to give up the hope for better.In short, this film is about Moscow homeless people who live on the dump in old buses, "homes" made of rubbish... There is even one old steam locomotive. An old crazy railwayman lives in it and still maintains the old machine.One day aliens visit the dump (so this film is also sci-fi a bit). They promise homeless that they will return and take them to their planet - when the blue snow will fall.In the end of the movie homeless people suddenly see blue snow falling. Unfortunately, just on this moment city officials have begun removal of homeless. Crazy railwayman starts his locomotive, and homeless try to escape using it. Suddenly, locomotive goes into the air and flies away - obviously the work of aliens.

evita-9 A glance of post-soviet Russia with all it's tragedy, confusion, controvercy and comism. Tragic comism. One of Russia's most loved directors, Eldar Ryazanov, brings you the "great evil empire" at it's ruins, but not from the global and political point of view, but looks at it with the eyes of who that empire was initially built for: common people.This film is a scream of a sore soul, torn by the generations of cruel system in a country whose people still managed to carry through their ability to love, no matter what.Ryazanov's wonderful sence of humor makes us laugh with tears in our eyes and it feels like those tears can was away the bitterness and the pain. They don't make forgett, but we don't want to forget.
