Plot/Theme: |
|
In this comic but dated story, nerdy Shurik travels to Caucasus in search of native
legends and folklore. But what he finds is a beautiful girl whom, due to intoxication
and deceit of the local "gang", he ends up literally stealing for the local deceitful
governor. All the time Shurik thinks that it is all just a one old Caucasian custom.
When he, finally, realizes what he did he goes out in search for the girl of his
dreams.

Here are some tips on using the
menu on the DVDs: |
First, you must wait for the required messages
to play before you
can access the menu.
In the main menu, there could be four topics:
- простотр = Play
- Эпизоды = Select episodes
- Субтитры = Subtitles
- Дополнительно = Extra material
Under subtitles:
- Ангийский = English
- Русский = Russian
- без субтитров = without subtitles
|
My Review:
This movie is equivalent to a “G” rated American picture. It’s another classic of Russian comedy Notice that you can see either English or Russian subtitles. So, it is a fun way to improve your Russian. (You may need to experiment a little with the menu in order to display the subtitles, because the menu is in Russian.) The movie has been restored, so the image is crystal clear, and the company ships promptly.
