1139 DUKHOV DEN (WHIT MONDAY) 1990, 110 min., color, “Golos”, “Lenfilm” Mystical drama Director: Sergei Selyanov, screenplay: Mikhail Konovalchuk, Sergei Selyanov, camera: Sergei Astakhov, production designer: Viktor Ivanov, misic: Yuri Shevchuk, sound: Kirill Kuzmin Cast: Yuri Shevchuk, Borya Golyatkin, Yuri Demich, Sulev Sujk, Angelica Nevolina, Stanislav Landgraf Ivan Khristoforov is a creative person with the characteristic bright luminous moments and break-throughs. His ability to cause explosions is a metaphor used to describe the sensual contacts between his tragic, passionate nature and the surrounding world. He yearns to break out of the burned-out mythological space that is Russia's dwelling place and discover his own place in the endless succession of generations replacing one another in the boundless Russian plain. Ivan Khristoforov tries all the classical ways of gaining freedom: escape into himself, abroad, into his childhood, “among the people”... 1140 ZIMNYAYA VISHNYA — DVA (THE WINTER CHERRY -2) 1990, 87 min., color, ”Troitsky Most” Melodrama Director: Igor Maslennikov, screenplay: Vladimir Valutski, camera: Vladimir Brylyakov, production designer: Natalya Kochergina, misic: Vladimir Dashkevich, sound: Alexander Gruzdev Cast: Vitaly Solomin, Yelena Safonova, Irina Miroshnichenko, Irina Klimova, Nina Ruslanova, Larisa Udovichenko, Viktor Avilov In the sequel, the lonely, single main character of the first “Zimnyaya Vishnya” (“The Winter Cherry”) picture is happily settled: wife of a respectable American businessman, mother of a charming five-year-old daughter... For her former lover Vadim, the clock seems to have stopped. Every morning he duly makes breakfast for his spouse; he obediently makes love to the young, prematurely developed Sveta nicknamed Slonik — a reasonably pragmatic and selfless creature, yet, given a chance, quite willing to take the spineless Dashkov in hand. He is forever listening to his friends advising him not to miss his chance. But it is not a lost chance that matters; what matters is that this person is no longer able or willing to look for any.
A dramatic story of a provincial girl coming to a big city under the municipal limited hiring quota. 1142 KOGDA SVYATIYE MARSHIRUYUT (WHEN THE SAINST MARCH) 1990, 90 min., color, ”Golos”, “Lenfilm” Musical Director: Vladimir Vorobyev, screenplay: Alexander Zhitinski, camera: Heinrich Marandzhyan, production designer: Boris Bykov, misic: David Goloschyekin, sound: Mikhail Victorov Cast: Vera Alentova, Vladimir Steklov, Emanuel Vitorgan, Alexander Dolski, Alexander Khochinski, David Goloschyekin, Igor Dmitriyev, Alla Balter, Dmitry Vorobyev The picture is focused on jazz musicians, featuring a meeting of those who were young in the 1960-s.

Shortly, the ominous house on the slope turns the spineless boys into murderers.

The picture is actual and satirically poignant in the sense that today, when the outward bans have been lifted, the inner ones linger to mar people's lives, preventing them from overcoming their fear and servility and obstructing the “germination” of free thinking and human rights.
The taxi driver Ivan Shlykov becomes an unwilling witness and participant of the musician Lyosha Seliverstov's drinking spree. He drives his bohemian chums around Moscow, sells them his vodka, only to see his client disappear without paying. The taxi driver is mad to be so insulted by a pathetic loafer, a puny nothing of a music player. Shlykov finds Seliverstov, thus setting off the tragic story of their relationship involving a blind hate, an unshared love, an overpowering weakness, a lack of a common language and a crazy hope to find one.
