Olga Voznesenskaya is a silent screen star whose pictures are so popular that underground revolutionaries risk capture to see them. She's in southern Russia filming a tear-jerker as the Bolsheviks get closer to Moscow. Although married, she spends time every day with Victor Pototsky, the film's cameraman.

As a Day for Night-style farce about the filmmaking industry, it's not so hot. The humor is a bit too slapsticky, or perhaps just doesn't translate well. As a political film, it fares better... a bit one-sided by necessity, but with some nuance and not too propagandistic. As a period romance, it's pretty good. The scenes of Olga and Victor courting are exceptionally lovely, the highlights of a film which has fine cinematography throughout.

Mikhalkov's second feature film is still not quite THAT. It's somewhat transitional: less showy and adolescent than his debut feature film, and I can really see a more mature director though its mise-en-scene, but there will be quite an artistic leap between this and his next film. Elena Solovey deserves a special mention here: a totally unworldly creature, you can hardly believe she's human.
