Oh God the sadness of human life. All the times "waiting and she did not come" /"waiting and he did not come". This film struck home

[@baklavatatli7301]

I don't know if young people who have lived all their lives with the Internet and all kinds of entertainment can understand or appreciate this movie. I am 68 years old and lived in a country at a time when there was no TV broadcast. I read White Nights when I was a teenager and I was deeply impressed with Dostoyevky's book. But until I saw this movie I couldn't really picture the woman and her charm. The actress was fantastic, a combination of innocence and charm. The background music, the opera scene, the streets at night.... the whole movie was poetry! (I skipped some of the fantasies of the male character. I don't remember as much of that in the book.) p.s. Walking around the streets of St. Petersburg reminded me of all the walks I took during summer nights at home listening to the crickets singing. Totally different setting but being alone with my thoughts felt the same.

as a 13 years old girl, i love this movie sir, and i've read the book i find it deeply relatable and sad, i love reading dostoevsky's books, those are pure art

[@romanocipriani3566]

A film of extraordinary beauty! Actors, direction, photography... a work of art. A dramaturgy that penetrates our feelings. Certainly one of the most beautiful I've ever seen! I had already seen an Italian version, with Maria Schell and Marcello Mastroianni, directed by Luchino Visconti. Thank you very much!

[@rickdarby3420]

Pure poetry. It's about a love triangle in which one character must lose after believing, for a few hours, that he has at last found the fulfillment of his dreams and an end to his loneliness. There are no bad people in the film; the tragedy is due to the human condition, against which even love is sometimes powerless. Romanticism, of a kind that seems inherent in the Russian soul, pervades almost every scene. It is captured above all by the acting and supernal beauty of Lyudmila Marchenko as Nastenka, whose routine, closed-in life is suddenly illuminated by a mutual attraction she has never before known and later a deep spontaneous friendship with the man she meets at a moment of crisis. It's amazing that such a bittersweet, heartfelt film could be made in the Soviet Union, only a few years following Stalinist tyranny and a few more years since Russia was gutted in the war that sacrificed some 30 million of its people. Maybe love is not powerless against grim fate, after all.

[@georgevladimirovich7190]

Many beautiful films were made in Soviet Union even during the time Stalin was in power. Russia has never lost its soul and it never will.

There is a quality in Soviet storytelling in film that floors me every time. I’m no actor or moviemaker of any kind but I enjoy and appreciate hard work and attention to detail. I guess I could say that the actors lack the slightest bit of pretense and, instead, they ACT with uncomplicated intensity and sincerity without that self-conscious elitism seen so often in western actors who end up dissipating their energy.

[@Omavertelhetmij]

I thought the same thing about Hollywood movies of that time. This film is a piece of art!

Yes. Russian films have a restrained elegance and class that Hollywood, Bollywood, Tollywood, etc. etc. woods have lost.

[@louise_rose]

Tarkovsky's films would have been impossible to make in a western commercial studio system (unless he had first made fifteen films and established himself on the market as a star within that system: that's the way people like Bergman, Fellini and Hitchcock won the right to make films the way they really wanted to). Absolutely NO western film company would have given Tarkovsky the resources and scope he got for Andrey Rublev, which was only his second full-length feature. Okay, the film was blocked from release for a few years after it was finished, but it did see release after that without massive cuts, and went on to become a classic. In the US or Britain, that film could never have been made, at least not by a young rookie director.

[@MalvinderKaur-e7x]

a beautiful story of waiting for the right person, and not losing the faith in it, from women's point of view. see how writing of substance means that mind can imbue so much in a narrative of love, drama, highs, lows, that then becomes successful writing, then what was credited to Somerset Maugham's story where nothing happens except a young man walks out on his older female lover, none of degree of anguish was written the way it is in this story, heartbreak pathos poignancy and suspense got created, because the narrator himself writes dreams of romances saving Damsels in distress:) .. and yes, no writers of those times went to so called silly foppish writing classes.. all of these are organic natural talent which wrote and as they wrote they got more and more skilled.

Стриженов говорит почему-то не своим голосом, а каким-то нарочито писклявым. Должно быть, это должно подчеркнуть молодость и инфантильность главного героя. Спорное решение, поскольку оно убивает чувство сопереживания с ним и совершенно излишне.

A stunning film. Lyudmila Marchenko was such a marvellous actress and taken so young from what I gather was a simple flu. I have read a lot from this author though not "white nights." Dostoievski can be a bit of a Bible Basher, which I don't like, but here he excels (again). A truly powerful love story.

I loved this movie a lot. Not to long ago before i watched this i read the book. i literally knew everything that would happen in the story but i still cried a bit after watching the movie. This movie was great and i dont think i have anything bad to say about it. defenetly one of my favorite movies and books right now. I feel like people could misinterpret Nastenka as a bad character for not choosing to love the dreamer instead but i dont think she was. Nobody can change the way they feel for another person in just 5 nights...
