Movie Reviews of Little Vera
Movie Review: from an American looking in
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie when I was in Leningrad, before Gorbachev resigned Christmas Eve, 1991. The state-run television station ran it one evening, and I watched it with my Russian friends, who insisted it was a "porno". After the movie, the same people who thought they'd be able to see explicit sex scenes ended up sitting around the kitchen table discussing the movie over vodka and pickles as if it were an obscure painting of the Peter and Paul Fortress.Whatever, the movie gave me, as a United States citizen, an insight on Russian family, lifestyle, fears and hopes. To many Russians, it seems they consider the film effluvium to be dismissed as they are probably used to so much state-sponsored affect flotsam and jetsam. But to some of us "uneducated", it was enlightening and funny/ironic toward the end, with that "HAAA! HAAA!" attempt at mental escape.
Not to mention, Natalya Negoda is hot! Or should I say, sovsim garyatchaya...
Movie Review: You will see a side of Russia you won't see on Television
Summary: 5 Stars
If you were around prior to the fall of the Soviet Union them you may remember how eastern European and Russian women were depicted. The image of the East German female weightlifter who would put the Rock or Arnold Schwarzenegger to shame comes to mine.
What made this movie interesting is that it was one of the first times where you could see Soviet women depicted as women, as well as the crushing poverty that many still face in the Former Soviet Union.
If you are considering meeting and dating foreign women online then this is a recommended film for you. Not so much as a cautionary talk but rather as an eye opener.
Cheers!
Movie Review: A poor DVD, an excellent film.
Summary: 4 Stars
The video quality is low. Subtitles (English only) are not optional and leave quite a bit untranslated. The DVD contains no bonus features. But the film is a definite masterpiece and worth seeing by all means!Movie Review: Good and honest film .
Summary: 3 Stars
Good , honest , depressing , truthfull film . But it deserves only 3 stars ... not a bit more . The reason why it was a big hit in US :1. It was depressing anouph to be used in propaganda compain in US .
2. The 2 nude scenes in it , what was BIG deal for Soviet films then , and perfect for male population of the US .
As result , Natalya Negoda get couple good roles in American films . Check out " The Comrades of Summer ".
Movie Review: 3 stars out of 4
Summary: 3 Stars
The Bottom Line:
Revolutionary for its time (I believe it's the first Russian movie to show nudity and feature a sex scene), Little Vera now is a sometimes-interesting take on the lives of two lovers in 1980s that now functions better as a piece of history than as a film.
