DVD Reviews of Ivan Vasilievich - Back to the Future
DVD Review: Polozh' trybky - zadavlju shljapa!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those films that's like "Russian Vodka" brand and "kolbasa" has been infused into the late Soviet citizen's mind as an example of humor and satire.
The movie is undoubtedly funny, however the humor is rather sophisticated and goes beyond the more simple "slap-stick" comedy of which some elements are present.
This one requires a little knowledge of Russian history as well as (like probably many other Russian/Soviet films) a bit of knowledge of Zastoi mind set, when one couldn't or hardly get some product with a non-Soviet stamp on it. An infamous "Deficit". Consequently, many characters are particular types that have aquired pseudo-European and therefore fashionable lingo - like the director, and the scientist's girlfriend who often inject "over-the-border" words into their dialogues.
The scientist himseld is a typical dupe, similar to the Russian architypical Ivanushka-durachok (Ivan the Fool). While the thief/wise guy played by Kuravlev is a cunning "first minister" also with pseudo-European habits, that may be likened to some Western European, particularly German and French infuences that have come to dominate Russia higher strta in the late 17th-18th centuries.
