Featured review
Very nice movie
The movie - The Autumn Marathon - is one of my favourite. I grew up in Soviet Union that transformed later into Russian Federation. I still remember those times. Actually, I remember times a little later than 1979 (I was born that year:)), but everything I see in this movie reminds me of my childhood: apartments, cars, clothes etc. I understand the mood of this film. Indeed, it was usual type of mood of "intelligensia" people. People who had good brains and realised they don't have much space to develop their talents. Of course, the character of the protagonist - Andrey - is complicated, he has many inside complexes and can't say "no" to anybody that causes problems for him and others. A man who is waiting for somebody else to made decision for him. He can't tear himself out of "love triangle" ( his wife, lover and him). At the end of the film we see how happy he is when it seems that his wife and lover finally left him. But everything gets back and Andrey's endless "marathon" running continues.....
