Kiss them all! / Gorko!

Director Zhora Kryzhovnikov

Russia, 2013, 100 min

In Russian with English subtitles

 Sponsored by the Bazelevs Distribution, Film studio “Lunapark production”, and the Russian Club at UNC Charlotte

Introduction by Kate Skorodinskaya, M.A., Instructor of Russian studies: “Russian wedding on the screen and in life.” Slideshow: faces of Russian weddings in photography – images of Russian weddings from 20th century to the 21st

Discussion will follow the screening

Kiss them all! is a smash hit comedy; the camera captures a wedding in modern Russia in a documentary style. Progressive and talented Natasha and Roma dream of a European wedding on the beach, but Natasha’s stepfather has other ideas. As a city manager, he thinks the festivities should be a springboard for his own career and tries to arrange everything accordingly. An evening in a restaurant complete with all of the boring traditions is prepared for the young couple. Finding themselves unable to argue, the pair decides to have their dream wedding anyway, but to keep it secret from their conservative relatives. By crazy coincidence, both celebrations come together.

Reviews:

“It’s a treatise on the never-ending dualism of the Russian soul: rich and poor, the civilized and the uncouth rationality and madness, dissolute sobriety and stern drunkenness, fat and thin all living together in an antagonistic, natural coexistence.” Greg Dolgopolov, KinoKultura

“Film about a drunken, provincial wedding party has become Russia’s most talked-about movie of the year as the subject matter hits a sensitive spot for Russians.” Dmitriy Romendik, Russia Beyond the Headlines 

Awards:

Kiss them all/ Gorko! – Nika award (Russia), “Discovery of the Year”, 2014

Nominated for “Best film” at the Golden Eagle award (Russia), 2014
