Two Hussars

1984 · 128 min

A slow, literary costume drama contrasting two eras through a father and son, rich in moral weight and quiet disappointment.

Overview: Drama on the novel of the same name L. N. Tolstoy. Two hussars - father and son - two morals, two worldviews. And although older Turbin frivolous in love, but reliable in friendship and principled in matters of honor. Junior Turbines do not stand up to comparison with his father - he is calculating, shallow and selfish "hussars of the new generation".
How it feels: Melancholic, earnest, romantic and cynical. Measured and needs your attention.
