Product Description

The main character in "Autumn Marathon," Buzykin, is a kind, gentle person, helping others without a concern for himself, rejecting no one. However, making choices is always a problem, and while he has the best of intentions, his decisions are now coming home to roost unless he can change the course of events already set in motion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Autumn in Moscow, November 5, 2002

By	Lena Baranova (Moscow, Russia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Autumn Marathon [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is the movie about a man of thinks of himself as a victim of circumstances, but in fact his will is just not strong enough. He cannot make his own choise, and when the destiny decides for him - it turnes out to be the worst way out of the situation. It's a very thought-provoking film and it has a deep pshycological problem. A little bit depressing, though. But still good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Autumn Marathon, August 27, 2006

By	A Customer - See all my reviews

This review is from: Autumn Marathon (DVD)

Russian with English subtitles. The translator called it "a sad comedy." Works for me. A humorous look at adultery with a serious undertone about how indecisiveness might be more painful than just breaking somebody's heart outright. Hey, it's Russian. You know they can't do anything, not even slapstick, without literary undertones. That's why we love them. Great writing plus an extremely talented cast equals another keeper.

This review is from: Autumn Marathon (DVD)

It is funny indeed. However, the Spanish audio track is no good, as they put the Spanish audio directly on top of the Russian audio, so you hear both, and it isn't dubbed -- one guy reads all the Spanish translation (so there is never any female voices in Spanish).
