The joint Polish-Soviet film had to be something very funny and fresh. Indeed, the very theme seems to be very promising - 1923, a police informer runs from Chicago to the Soviet city Odessa, that lies at the Black Sea coast, then, the killer is sent to murder him.
This movie deserves to be recognized. It is an original comedy spoofing the early years of the Soviet empire, with all their grotesque and pretentiousness.
Following up Magnet, my copy does have English subtitles in packaging that is otherwise Russian, dated 2002. The translation is so bad as to add considerably to the humor: somebody has a dictionary and is taking the first entry.
It is a movie that shows the fact that comedy was born in Odessa. Even when you are dealing with assassins you can make a funny movie if you are doing it in Odessa.
The plot is well-known and can be put aside.Why "a dropping eye"?
Let me try to explain why Deja vu is one of my favorite movies ever. In the opening shots, while the credits still run across the screen, most movies will show some boring landscape.
