Plot & Summary
In 1953, the wedding of a young couple continues silently after the whole country is mourning the death of Stalin. What starts off as a bawdy comedy with plenty of surreal touches eventually morphs into a statement about both totalitarian government oppression and the spirit of the everyday people who lived through such trying circumstances. You’d be right to think that these two aspects aren’t the most obvious aspects to mesh together on screen but the contrast and sudden shift is the point of the film. This is a successful approach for getting across its themes about the struggle of humanity, less so for shaping an engaging story.
There’s a lot of great content packed into the running time – genuinely funny low-brow humour, rustic and picturesque settings, carnivalesque production design as well as the bittersweet but life-affirming event described in the title
