Der Kurschatten

It is difficult to describe the touching and warmth that this film gives. Love, funny situations, family care for each other. Wisdom and warmth. ... And of course music! The combination of camera work, humor, music, excellent acting makes the film unforgettable. And there is no reason to remember that the budget of the film is very low.Be sure to watch this movie! He will not make you smarter, but he will make you a little happier.

Vladimir Menshov's "Lyubov i golubi" (alternately called "Love and Pigeons" and "Love and Doves" in English) looks at the mishaps that ensue after a family man goes to a resort and has an affair. I understand that, despite the image of the ideal Soviet family man, plenty of men in the USSR had affairs. You can bet money that the same thing was going in the US (trust me, the United States and Soviet Union had more in common than they liked to admit). Basically, Vasiliy is attracted to Raisa's kindness, she to his knowledge, and the movie brings up the issue of whether or not marriage is a form of slavery.

Of course, it's possible to simply laugh at the absurd situation that the movie depicts. I liked it. I wonder what Alfred Hitchcock would have thought of this use of birds in a movie.

The movie "Love and Doves" is one of my most favorite movies.

Everything is fine in it: the work of the film crew, a well-chosen cast and their game. The music in the film is appropriate and in some moments adds a zest.

For me, this film seemed very vital. The situation described in the film is very similar to reality. The psychotypes of the characters are revealed in detail and selected.

This film reveals the importance of human relationships in life, and also shows very important human qualities-the ability to love and be loved, and of course to forgive. I believe that love is wonderful and everyone deserves to find love!

In the film "Love and Doves", the era of that time is well conveyed and you can plunge into it with your head.

And finally, I want to say that the film awakens the best feelings in me. After all, he is kind and real.

I advise everyone to watch it.

This is one of those movies whose plot does not tell very much. You need to see it to fully appreciate its perfection. I saw it for the first time in the 1980's. Today, more than a quarter of a century later, the movie looks as fresh and entertaining as before. Those who don't speak Russian lose a lot by not watching this piece of art.

Every character is authentic and original. Sergei Yursky, one of the famous Russian comedians, is especially funny as Dyadya Mitya. Aleksandr Mikhailov, who in most other films plays a macho, here does an outstanding job as a simpleton Vasya. Fortunately, the director balanced well the contribution of Lyudmila Gurchenko, a veteran of the Soviet cinema, with that of the others. After watching the movie you have the feeling that you have lived together with the heroes.

The Soviet film Love and Doves tells us about the life situation that many families face. The plot of the story is a reality that many people encounter in life. But how to cope with the emerging problems and twists and turns on the path of life, and why is this happening? Of course, this film does not touch upon the philosophical issues of being, but it shows us what should be the main thing.

In a person's life, who is his support and what you need to strive for. Although we all still understand what is good and what is bad, but everyone can stumble, but everyone deserves a chance to be forgiven. This film, despite the rather serious plot, is filled with humor, worldly experience and evokes only positive emotions in us. The excellent play of the actors shows the life of the outback in all its immediacy. We empathize with the main characters until the end of the film and hope for a happy ending. Whether he will or not, you will only know when you watch the film, because here it is life as it is.
