Hello, this weekend we are watching one more masterpiece of lyric comedies by Georgi Daneliya (we already watched another his movie “Autumn Marathon”)
Today we are watching Mimino(1977) – one of the most soul-touching and philosophical comedies made in Soviet time. To understand Russians you must watch this video even it was made in Georgia!
One of my most favorite movies and of course with English subtitles! Let’s watch:
Mimino got Special Prize of International Moscow Film Festival 1977.
As always on Saturday we continue our tradition to publish the best Russian movies for weekend. Today our choice is Dzhentelmeni udachi (Gentlemen of Fortune) – an old Russian comedy made in 1972. They also call it an unlyrical comedy.
