There is no single truth in love. Each treads their own path. Which should take precedence – passion or duty? How do we choose? And who gets to judge? These are the eternal questions, remorselessly thrust upon us by life.

In 1904, in the aftermath of one of the battles of the Russo-Japanese war, Sergei Karenin and Alexei Vronsky find themselves thrown together in a remote Manchurian village, where fate offers them a chance to return to the events long past and, finally, to find the answers both have long been seeking.

有人戏称这部电影是“四个男人的一台戏”。 影片中基本没有特别引人的情节，没有激烈的动作打斗场面，甚至没有撩人心弦的爱情故事，然而绕有趣味的是，影片除却赢得了1700万观众，还被当时权威电影杂志《苏联银幕》评为1983年最佳影片。 这样一部既叫座又叫好的影片讲述了前苏联20年代四个青年音乐家组办爵士乐队的故事。在那样一个“火红的年代”，属于“资本主义意识形态”的爵士乐很难被苏联官方接受。出现在影片中几乎所有文化场合的标语“艺术要为劳动人民服务！”是那个时代的典型象征。四个热爱爵士乐的青年就这样不合时宜、一波三折地进行着他们“不可能完成的任务”。 影片拍摄完成的80年代，苏联人已经开始通过一些“非法渠道”接触西方文化，当时，《巴黎最后的探戈》录像带开始半地下流行，持不同政见歌手的音乐会也几乎场场爆满。因此，在这样一种社会背景下影片中发生的故事立刻能得到观众的认同，主人公们对理想的执着、对自我价值的肯定、对友谊的坚持也让人感觉亲近和鼓舞。 影片运用幽默诙谐的手法对时代进行嘲讽，用优美的音乐旋律和舞蹈动作打动观众，一个本应沉重的题材得以让人轻松地内省。 导演卡·沙赫纳扎罗夫、编剧亚·巴拉基杨斯基、摄影弗·舍弗兹伊克构成了一个强力组合， 剧本经过10次修改，人物性格设计上的差异赋予了演员极大的发挥空间。透视片中时代里的个体、音乐里的个性，我们看到一种俄罗斯哲学的智慧。或许有一天，你已经忘记了影片故事的情节，但是某些掺杂着辛酸与甜蜜、沮丧与欣喜的电影画面会在脑海中悄然浮现。 影片获1984年法国格勒诺布尔国际音乐片电影节评委会特别奖，波兰罗兹国际电影节银奖，并参展1984年伦敦、芝加哥、贝尔格莱德等电影节。

A new doctor from Moscow arrives at a provincial mental institution. His interest is the peculiarities of the psyche of a patient who believes that he is Yakov Yurovsky, the man who assassinated the last Russian tsar. In the course of their conversations it transpires that the patient is a kind of philosopher, not without a gift for suggestion. In a while the doctor himself falls under his patient’s influence: he tends to relive that fatal night of June 16-17, 1918 when, without any investigation or trial, Tsar Nicholas II, who had recently abdicated, was murdered, together with his wife, daughters and incurably ill heir. Soon the doctor realizes that the tragedy of the last Russian tsar is in part his own tragedy, too...

Another well-recognized work of the chief director in Mosfilm Karen Shahnazarov. As usual Karen gives very absurd and bright story-line that shows ordinary problems in a very special ironic way. This is not a horror film it looks more like comedy, but it touches upon horrific ideas that come to mind in state of jealousy. The main character is a young actor, whose fat wife a music teacher betrays him with a neighbour who works at meat-plant. The main character is very shy and noble person he acts really awesome. While his wife pushes him away he goes to a club and meets a stranger-pensioner who turns out to be caring a lot of poison with him all the time. He reads main character's mind immediately and tells him how he poisoned his wife-betrayer in the past. The pensioner persuades his new young friend to revenge by means of poisons and the actor agrees. The film gives brief description of poisoning in the history of human race. The youngman becomes a member of poison-club, where people from the past, who poisoned somebody gather together to have a big poison party. While the young actor plans his revenge his wife and her lover also make a plan to poison him and his new love . This becomes big absurd after all. This unusual and rather expensive film includes a lot of costumes and great dialogues. The film even has some gore. While the director describes some historical moments of Italian Cesare he shows how great emperor cured himself after being poisoned. A huge bull without entrails serve Cesare as a blood bath.
