this movie have the big advertising campaign any movie ever have in russia . epic movie about russian culture and great saga of russian spirit and endless article and interview . for me this movie be the big disappointment . the main character play by oleg menshikov be a stupid immature boy ready to set up his comrade because of a woman who doesn not even look like a lady . what be there to admire . in the first part of the movie the story doesn not develop at all . people festival scene look like boast about russian audacity . i respect mr. mikhalkov for his previous work both a actor and director and but this movie just demonstrate his ambition to be consider the tzar of russian cinema .
