Zhenya, Zhenechka i 'Katyusha'

The most unusual film of the Soviet era about the Great Patriotic War, telling the love story of an intellectual Zhenya Kolyshkin (a guy "not of this world" as they say) and a signalman Zhenya Zemlyanikina. Kolyshkin always gets into ridiculous situations, while performing the most real feats. Deep and touching characters, tragicomedy, great music based on poems by Bulat Okudzhava (he himself appears in a brief episode), vitality. For the first time I watched this movie in full, and not in snatches. And I can say with confidence that this is a real masterpiece that is worthy of viewing (and not even one). Great actors, especially good Oleg Dahl in the role of Zhenya Kolyshkin.

My rating is 10 out of 10 and my recommendation for viewing!
