Editorial Reviews

RUSSIAN Soundtrack ONLY. NO SUBTITLES. Sound formats: Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby Digital 1.0. No zone restriction; Format: 4:3; An Oscar winner for "best foreign film". This is a melodrama about the life stories of the three girls. Three friends, Antonina, Liudmila and Yekaterina, come to Moscow in search of their dream. Sharing a hostel room, they work and play together. Antonina soon marries a good man and settles down to raise a family. For Liudmila, Moscow is a sort of lottery, in which you have to pick the lucky ticket. She attempts to conquer the big city, but ends up a loser. The life of the third girl, Yekaterina, is a contemporary Cinderella story. She had her share of disappointments, but did not despair. In twenty years she built up a career and became the director of a big enterprise. A single parent of a daughter, she finally meets the right man and, after long and bitter years of loneliness, finds true happiness...

5.0 out of 5 stars True Classic, November 14, 2005
By 
This review is from: Moscow Does Not Believe In Tears / Moskva Slezam Ne Verit (Kr.Plan) - Russian Soundtrack ONLY (DVD)
I am from Former Soviet Union and didn't watch the movie for language training, but for it is - a good movie with the major line that "life doesn't finish when you're forty, it just starts then".
Agree on it being a Soviet Cinderella story with difference that the woman didn't catch the millionaire, but made her own career and met the guy who isn't earning as much as she does (the major problem for him), but still happy with him.
Can watch this movie again and again - when I am in good mood and when I need to lift it up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hoary but endearing Soviet classic, December 2, 2004
By 
This review is from: Moscow Does Not Believe In Tears / Moskva Slezam Ne Verit (Kr.Plan) - Russian Soundtrack ONLY (DVD)
The not so subtle morality in this movie and the cliched rewards of a well-functioning (fictional!) socialist society must now strike viewers as quaint, but for those of us who watched this movie during the Cold War as part of our language training, it's everything we hated and loved about Russian, Russians, and the Soviet Union. The acting is superb, and the story heartwarming. Watch it as a tiny piece of Soviet history preserved in amber, and you will love it.
