Movie Reviews of Slave of Love
Movie Review: Good in many ways
Summary: 3 Stars
Like many Soviet films, the filmmakers have to dance around sensitive issues and toe the party line. The true beauty of this film is not in the script or the story. Much of the script is hackneyed and the characters are broad (and sometimes insulting) parodies (although the cast is first rate), but visually, stunning isn't the word. Not just great natural-light cinematography, but artless. Crimea in spring must be very beautiful, but it is just astounding how perfectly it is captured. And this betrays some simple truths. The censors (and self-censorship) hobbled the filmmakers' art in the USSR, but they could and did cut loose as technical virtuosi. Wow.
