Kino Klassika introduction:
Based on Tigran Chukhajyan’s operetta, this adaptation is a vivid example of the often overlooked diversity of the Soviet cultural landscape. Released shortly after the 1965 demonstrations in Yerevan (Armenia), this absurd operatic narrative of love, kidnapping and villains is accompanied by enchanting vocal and physical performances.
Here (and above) you can sample some of the film’s delights.
