sunlion This one of the films which can be used as a test for ones intelligence. It calls for an ability to understand subtle multilayered humor, hints, double-meanings and symbolisms. It`s rating speaks for itself. Where else can you see such a mixture of humor and philosophy. First the phrase brings the laughter, but leaves you thinking further and further.Everything is so full of talent, wit and kind wisdom, that it grabs you even if you watch it for hundred times. This is a quality of real art.The script is written by Gorin, who is da Vinci of satirical humor, most of the text has already embedded itself into a former Soviet country modern day folklore.
rouzanna Mark Zakharov being my favourite director, I would say this is not one of his best movies. And maybe this is just because I don't like the plot (you know, all of that Caliostro things), because the cast and the quality of acting is impressive. Also, there are a number of funny statements in the movie, and a bit of romance. Overall, you could watch this one if you need another Sunday-style-mild-comedy. But I would rather recommend Tot Samiy Munchgausen, which is by far the best of Zakharov's movies. Still 6.5 out of 10.
vmarkov Wonderful script! Story about Count di Cagliostro - surrounded by extravagant assistants (con artists), coming to Russia. Got himself into trouble, within short period of time, he had to run away from law enforcement troops. On his way from St. Petersburg to Europe Cagliostro with his cortege, manages to break his carriage, and stuck in the middle of the Russia for unknown period of time...
caterinka The movie brings up a pile of questions, managing to speak about love, purpose of life, change of beliefs - all at the same time, in one piece! It is a gear mixture of romance and humor! I absolutely love it and never get tired watching it!
