... I'm not surprised at all that Gaidai's last movie remains his least known one. And honestly, I think it's better this way - it's an extremely poor film, and a quite screeching one too. The absolutely ridiculous script is portrayed in such an atrociously rancid way that it would seem impossible that Gaidai would have made such a film if it wasn't for his characteristic aesthetic blunting pitifully devalued here and there. It feels so pathetically decadent that it's deeply depressing.
The sole redeeming feature of 'Na Deribasovskoy...' is the delightful characterization of the gallery of Soviet leaders and their odd involvement in the script, which certainly is not enough for avoiding me to hope I can erase this movie from my mind soon as much as I wish I wouldn't have watched it. Horrible.
