    • Trivia
      Seeing from advance screenings that the film was appealing largely to teenage audiences, the original June release date was postponed since in the USSR at that time young people tended to engage in outdoor activities or leave town for travel during the summer.

    Combination of Shukshin's tragicomedy and Ryazanov's humor...
    I first saw "Kuryer" when I was 8. All I remember is the change of moods that it inspired in me--from tears of laughter to gloomy sadness. Were I born 6-7 years earlier, I might have very well experienced the dillemmas that confronted the young hero of this film...
