Baryshnya-krestyanka

I know this is a romance movie but I am a person who looks seriousness and gravity even in a romance movie. Pushkin is one of my favorite writers in Russian literature. And Russian classic book buffs know that in every classic you find something deep,a philosophical conversation or a punchline which drives you new thoughts.In the movie there is barely a philosophical deep dialogue only a few between the leading actor and his father. But Yelena Korikava's performance as a flighty aristocratic girl is fine. It may not be a great adaptation but it still serves its purpose to show the rift between aristocrats and peasants...Russian aristocracy's obsession with languages like French and English. Last but not least the movie is successful to reflect the cordon bleu humor of Pushkin.I don't regret watching this mawkish romance just because of that humor element.
