Little Vera

Rating:
Summary: It was good at a time
Review: I've seen this movie in Moscow, when it first hit the screens, and it was a really revolutionary one for those times. I think it depicted quite well the problems of the young people in Russia, also the grim details of the life of Russion people in general - drunkenness, rudeness, total lack of culture, ignorance and so on. For those interested in furthering their interest in Russia it will provide another source.

Summary: It was big
Review: When it first came out in the movie theaters in Soviet Union, my mother wouldn't let me go to see it because I was 17 and suposly "they had sex" in the movie. Anyhow, I saw it and it was ok. Most people did talk about famous sex scene but I was more suprised how depressing it was, and how dysfanctional but yet common Vera's family was.
I think it was one of the first attemps of Soviest filmmakers to show something different from traditional.
It was a big hit as far as I can remember but I am pretty sure it is outdated by now.
