L H This movie contains most things! The film contains a lot of humor. But in humor it is also serious. It can make you both laugh and cry. It can be interpreted as a man's inadequacy, and that you do not grab the chance when you have it. A random meeting between two men on each side of the happiness scale. It's fun and sad. Great actors. Great scenes and music. A joy of a movie that is one of the best films that has been preserved in my memory almost 40 years. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Audience Member More important now than it was in 1987. I find it interesting, and saddening, how the American field of critics reviewed and parsed the film so naively, so "missed-the-point". In 2020, as an American citizen, art historian, and widow of an Italian creative who flourished in the 60s to 90s, I must say that the way this film was countenanced in such a fly-by disconnect way, a total missed-the-whole-point way, and was misconstrued as something about "love" or "lost love", portends for me, the miasma the American mind (if there is such a thing, really) has submersed itself in. A brilliant film that genuinely reflects: the human condition; the flow of human life through all of its "isms" and "isn'ts"; the ambiguity of everything we experience and intend; and the indelible nuances that still hold sway as the irrevocable DNA of Russian and Italian culture. That DNA thrives in these cultures, as it does in the hearts of humans squirming up through the layers of any and every culture they emerge from. All cultural perspectives have validity, and they all inform the hearts and hopes and biases and stances and priorities of the people who have been steeped in them from birth, youth, and other critical times of life. So be it. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review steve d I normally like Chekhov but thought this dragged.
