The Cranes are Flying (1958)

Immediately after our viewing of Soy Cuba, my viewing companion started reading about the director, Mikhail Kalatozov, and discovered that he had also previously directed Letyat zhuravli (The Cranes are Flying), and that it had won the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 1958. We checked to see if it was on the Criterion streaming service and discovered that it was, and immediately made plans to watch it as…

Aleksey Batalov in Nine Days of One Year (Mikhail Romm, 1962)

Cast: Aleksey Batalov, Tatyana Lavrova, Innokentiy Smoktunovskiy, Nikolai Plotnikov, Zinoviy Gerdt. Screenplay: Daniil Khrabovitsky, Mikhail Romm. Cinematography: German Lavrov. Production design : Georgi Kolganov. Film editing : Yeva Ladyzhenskaya. Music: Dzhon Ter-Tatevosyan.

The Soviet film Nine Days of One Year, about nuclear physicists, appeared in 1962, which makes for an interesting counterpoint to the major news event of that year, the nuclear standoff known as the Cuban missile crisis. But for all its geopolitical significance, Mikhail Romm's film is a love story, a blend of the eternal triangle and a conflict between marriage and career. Dmitri Gusov, known as Mitya (Aleksey Batalov), is a dedicated scientist who in the first of the film's nine days -- they aren't consecutive but spread out over the year -- receives a dose of radiation while overseeing an experiment conducted by his mentor, Prof. Sintsov (Nikolai Plotnikov). The professor gets a lethal dose, but Mitya is told that he's safe as long as he doesn't get exposed to another large burst of radiation. Mitya is in love with a fellow physicist, Lyolya (Tatyana Lavrova), who is also involved with Mitya's friend Ilya (Innokentiy Smoktunovskiy), a theoretical physicist. Ilya and Lyolya are on the verge of telling Mitya that they're going to get married, but the accident propels Lyolya into marrying Mitya instead. It's a rocky marriage, to be sure, with Lyolya worrying that Mitya is putting himself in harm's way while at the same time fretting that she's not doing enough to overcome his coldness and obsession with work. Through all this there's much talk, especially between Ilya and Mitya, about the morality of nuclear science, the nature of humanity, and even about whether they're doing enough to advance the future of communism. Fortunately, the ideological talk is kept to a minimum. Romm directs all of this with great style: long takes shot at low angles and a camera that moves restlessly between the characters as they talk. Somehow the film never falls into the obvious clichés, maybe because Batalov, Lavrova, and Smoktunovskiy bring their characters to life.

1957 yapımı olan film, savaşın yıkıcı etkilerini ve insan ilişkilerinin karmaşıklığını anlatan bir drama olarak tanınır. Film, Mikhail Kalatozov'un yönetmenliğinde ve Tatyana Samoylova, Aleksey Batalov ve Vasili Merkuryev gibi ünlü Sovyet oyuncuların başrollerinde yer aldığı etkileyici bir yapıttır.

Filmin hikayesi II. Dünya Savaşı döneminde geçer ve ana karakter Veronika'nın yaşamını merkezine alır. Veronika, sevgilisi Boris'in savaşa gitmesinin ardından bir dizi zorlu deneyimle karşı karşıya kalır. Film, savaşın getirdiği acıları, kayıpları ve aşkın gücünü ele alırken, insanların içsel çatışmalarını ve hayatta kalma mücadelelerini gözler önüne serer. Film, ayrıca savaşın insanlar üzerindeki etkilerini gerçekçi bir şekilde tasvir etmesiyle dikkat çeker.

Dama s sobachkoy (Iosif Kheifits, 1960)

Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears (1980). This is a life story of three girlfriends from youth to autumn ages. Their dreams and wishes, love, disillusions. Different careers. And big late love.

There's a lot to like in this melancholy movie about three women trying to get by in Moscow, especially in the first half where the film operates as a sort of slice of life character study. Unfortunately, it falls apart in the second half. It ditches two of the women's narratives almost entirely and instead focuses on a 'love' story with a new, poorly drawn character that feels almost silly compared to the nuanced portrayals of other dynamics. It's a real bummer, especially as the first half feels pretty special. 7/10.

Девять Дней Одного Года/ Nine Days in One Year

Soviet Union, 1962

And why is that necessary for the humankind? Your humankind has enough of everything. The humankind reached such level of perfection, it can destroy all life on Earth in 20 minutes.

Science learned about chemistry - Germans created a poison gas. An internal combustion engine was invented - Brits built a tank. A chain reaction was discovered - Americans bombed Hiroshima. Doesn’t that make you wonder?

Do you seriously believe that people have become smarter in the last 30 000 years? Not at all. Our brain hasn’t grown and we have the same amount of grey matter as people back then. The person who invented a wheel was as much of a genius as Einstein. And the one who first learned to carve fire was more talented than the one who came up with quantum mechanics. Look at the statues of Akhenaten. He lived 4000 years ago. Look at Nefertiti. Such refined, intelligent, inspired features… And look around you now. Neanderthals. 

But a pharaon could destroy 5000 or 10000 people. It’s nothing by modern standards. Genghis Khan couldn’t even imagine death camps and gas chambers. He could never think about fertilizing fields with ashes of burned bodies, filling mattresses with women’s hair, or making lampshades out of human skin.
