garcianyssa Walking Around Moscow is a charming film and it is easy to see why it is one of the most beloved Russian comedies. It follows Kolya, Volodya, and Sasha on their adventures around Moscow. This film focuses on the youth of Moscow and the city itself to tell this story. It is a lighthearted view of the city at the time and although the war is mentioned it does not seem to be a focus. Much of this movie consists of sweeping shots of the city as Kolya and Volodya roam around Moscow. As Kolya and Volodya make their way around Moscow they also interact with a number of people in many different, and oftentimes humorous, situations. Through these scenes we are able to see Moscow through the eyes of the youth and the preparation for Sasha's wedding further captures the theme of a new future. From this perspective a sense of hope for the future is garnered and the positivity of this film is established. The themes of hope and a return to a happier time are intrinsic to the aspirations of the thaw and the hope that many people had for more openness and freedom within the Soviet Union. Although it has a simple romantic plot, the film has a significant message and delivers it beautifully. Shots of the bustling, active city of Moscow and a thriving urban center help cement the idea that Moscow and the Soviet Union is regaining its previous prestige. This film is a lively depiction of Moscow and leaves you feeling happier and satisfied with its ending.

howToDie The film is a well-executed attempt to record the transient youth impressions of the aging generation of the Soviet baby-boomers. Or rather the inevitable fantasising about them 20+ years later. Not that it makes it any different from any other generation which has ever lived.Just as in the end of a news hour, there's a 60 second feel-good segment, in every generation, there's its own feel-good story. The scrutiny of how realistic those dreamy fantasies of the past are is beyond the point. Relaxing in the backyard's arm chair with a glass of well-deserved glass of wine reflecting on the past is of course a part of the drill.In the end, this patriotic narcissistic drivel could have been "Ya shagayu po Berlin (1964)" or "Ya shagayu po Hiroshima (1964)" full of love, spring vitality and romanticism. Which is of course fine as the life obviously goes on.And perhaps it's fine. It depends on the viewer's outlook. But for some, the film will be clearly interspersed with visual and conceptual references aggrandising and beautifying what the country has gone through in the preceding 50 years. A sort of the Soviet Union of Amnesia that is. A common propaganda "feel-good" trick in a wide range of other tricks in the toolboxes of various Ministries of Truth across the globe.One thing is for sure: this is a movie done by the power which won the war, so history is written accordingly. Small but curious detail.

alyona-m There is some kind of hackneyed opinion in the world that Moscow is a city of almost everlasting winter. Unfortunately there is a lot of truth in such words: we live in cold and rather dark city for 5-6 months a year. But if you'll come to Moscow in May or maybe in last April, it is most likely that you'd fall in love with this city. The film of G.Danelia brings you this delightful and intoxicating scent of spring Moscow, a fresh and brilliant scent of youth, beauty and first love.I think it is a best role of well-known Russian actor and director Nikita Mikhalkov - and it's of no doubt the most sincere work of him. And I also should say about sparkling supporting role of Vladimir Basov - his clever Floor polisher is really wonder :))
