      Two famous soviet pop music artists appear on the screen when Asya is watching TV. The female artist is Masha Rasputina in the music video of her song 'The White Mercedes', a song about new money and consumption society. The male artist in the David Bowie inspired androgynous make up is Boris Moiseev. Both artists' careers have spanned decades from the Soviet 80s to today (2022).

    Pleasing low budget comic modern fairy tale set in a Russian village
    A return to where it all started for Konchalovsky. This comic retelling of the goose that laid the golden egg story was shot on location in a Russian peasant village and employs an almost entirely non-professional cast. This grounds the picture's fairy tale plot in a convincingly authentic world. The film is fresh and funny and the social comment that there is is presented with a light touch. Pic works both as a fairy tale comedy and as a fascinating glimpse into the lives of ordinary Russian peasants. It's hard to believe this is from the man who directed "Tango and Cash".
