Trivia:
The title of the film (literally: "The Star of Captivating Happiness") is a quotation from a poem by Alexander Pushkin. The poem reads, "While we are inflamed by freedom, / While our hearts live for honor, / My friend, let us devote to the fatherland / The fine impulses of our spirits, / Have faith, my friend: it will arise, / The star of captivating happiness / Will awaken Russia from its slumber, / And on the ruins of autocracy / They will inscribe our names!" more

A great costume drama, 15 May 1999
8/10
Author: grendel-28 from USA

This movie spans a few years around year 1825 when a group of Russian officers prepared, failed and were prosecuted for a coup to establish a constitutional monarchy in Russia. Historical realities however are the least of concerns for the director who concentrated instead of timeless issues of love, betrayal, and honor. Well acted and fast paced movie with a star cast sporting names like Smoktunovsky, Batalov, Kostolevsky etc. Highly recommended.
