This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

According to opinion of western people, Soviet Union was absolutely totalitarian regime where everything was under propaganda, red dictatorship, etc. But at the same time there was great movie industry. Just look, how Soviet movie-makers show Britain, and they do not position British people or country as something negative, but would Americans or British make movie where events are happening in Soviet Union of 80-s or 70-s forgetting about Cold War realities, and just concentrating on art itself? By the way, one of comments was about Perestroika beginning. Actually 1983 year had nothing common with Perestoika because Perestroika begun in 1985, while in 1983 USSR was ruled by KGB man Yuri Andropov, and Gorbachev came to power only in 1985 March.

I saw that movie when I was about 7 or 8 years old. It was amazing movie for me. Handsome Mary Poppins (I didn't know then that it was Natalya Andreichenko, one of the most beautiful Russian actress in the 80's), imposing Cat-dancer and incredible Miss Andrew (this role was played by the greatest actor Oled Tabakov). Moreover, all the roles in this movie are played by very famous Russian stars. The atmosphere of fairy-tale stays even after movie watching. Songs and music are still moving to tears because the memory goes back to the childhood. I remember one moment well - balloons lying in the light of a lantern on the cobblestone pavement and sounds the song about the colour dreams which only children can see. I really like that movie and advice to watch it.

There are some movies that stay for eternity in your heart. This is kind of such moves - half-musical, giving your hope, with most beautiful film music I have ever heard. What a pity, this movie is so little known.The movie is made in times of perestroika's beginning - the whole Soviet world was waiting for something new and fresh. This movie has its freshness, but this freshness is also actual for our days.Check it out - you'll be really happy to know that move, I bet!Sometimes, if I have depression or stress, I sing to myself the optimistic song from this movie "Wind of Changes".This is really warm and wise song, that let you feel the essence of your life. I cannot really describe the feelings, you get while of watching this movie.

I think this movie is one of these you carry with you all your life. Once you see it, you fall in love. Why it's the number 1 movie in my heart, is that this is my childhood film. You got everything from it: fun, laughter, excitement, tears, warmth. There's lots of reading between the lines. And it is something every kid will understand and accept. I guess i would still cry when Meri Poppins takes the last wind to leave....
