Watch this one!

I never heard of that russian movie until I saw it in T.V. The Director matches it perfectly to connect a typical wedding comedy with critics on the (many) social problems in Russia. You have it all: The rich mafiosis, the corrupt policists, the poverty of the workers, the alcoholism, the decline of social institutions. But despite all, it is very positive movie - because of the hero Mischa, the husband, who gives never up, but also tries to stay brave and not to become a gangster. The movie is in its original russian way a bit similar to the blockbuster "monsoon wedding" from India. But I think "Russian Wedding" is the better movie, more funny, more cynical, more realistic.

E.G.: the bride maria mironova looks like an angel.

Sad and entertaining at the same time.

The same theme as "A Wedding" by Robert Altman, but with the much sadder social context of contemporary Russia. Communism might be finished (notwithstanding the odd hammer and sickle still showing here and there), but the quality of life of the people has not improved - with the only exception of mafia-stile capitalists. Towards the end of the film the chief of police says excitedly: "I AM BACK !", and this might be the sad reflection of the author on the future of the country (not necessarily back to Communism, that is, but to an authoritarian regime of sort).

And still, the people maintain a sort of desperate cheerfulness - made of jokes, drinking, music, dancing and sex. If you liked "Black Cat, White Cat" by Emir Kusturica (or the wedding scene in Underground) you will like this film.

Laughter through tears

I am grateful to the commentators who suggested comparisons to Robert Altman's "Wedding" and the Indian "Monsoon Wedding"-- the comparison that came to mind for me was "Sweet Home Alabama." But I definitely find it the greatest depiction of contemporary Russian culture, especially as it shows provincial, rather than big-city life. I titled my comments "Laughter through Tears," as that is a phrase associated with one of Russia's greatest writers, Nikolai Gogol, who inaugurated the absurd and grotesque in Russian literature. I know Pavel Lunguin as the director of "Taxi Blues," and find his development as a filmmaker in the 10 years between the two films very compelling. Longuin, to my mind, is one of the few filmmakers who has found his own authentic Russian voice in contemporary cinema.

The Russian way of living or surviving

As a North American who spent three months in Russia in 1995, all I can say is that this movie is a true reflection of what I experienced while I was there. The atmosphere of the film is true to life. If ones wants to get the feeling of a Russian party, this is it. Even though people don't have much to live on, they are ready to chip in and to share everything they have. This is not a comedy, this is a social study on life in Russia in 2000, but it is enjoyable.

anthropological wedding

Pavel Lungin's "Svadba" ("The Wedding" in English) is mainly about a wedding, but also shows a contrast between the different kinds of worlds in Russia. Tanya, having worked as a model in Moscow, returns to her economically depressed hometown and decides to marry a friend from school. However, a series of issues arise as they get ready for the wedding.

Although we see the wedding and all its Russian traditions, the movie also looks at issues of corruption and the general hopelessness in this mining town. The opening scene (where the glamorous Tanya is on a bus with a bunch of gruff people) makes the contrast very clear. And then there's a bunch of stuff that we learn about the characters over the course of the movie.

I recommend it.

In the movie you see worker waiting their wage. It's seems surreal these days, but happened in soviet times that payday was delayed for many months.
