Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for spy-story fans and people who'll be humming afterwards. Nobody is quite who they seem. Sits nicely alongside Children of a Lesser God. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
- The mood
- Warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 37 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- It's in Russian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1965: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.
Sergei, an aspiring musician, accidentally meets a deaf-mute girl, Natasha, and falls in love with her. He has to change a lot to prepare himself for a new relationship with a different and very vulnerable person. Natasha is like an alien or an alieness with whom Sergei has to find a completely new language to speak. Natasha tries hard to understand his musical world. The problem is that Natasha lost her hearing during the war and associates sounds with fear and pain. Even a symphony concert is torture for her.
