I enjoyed the city street scenes in this and other segments of White Bim Black Ear. I’m not completely sure why, but I think it’s because of the nostalgia. I remember when people wore clothes made of fabrics like that. There seems to be a mix of 50s, 60s, and early 70s styles, not as seen on Hollywood-type places and TV, but in the places where I lived. But it’s the fabrics that really caught my eye and made me remember. You won’t see that sort of thing in modern Russian movies, but I don’t remember seeing people dressed like that in any street scene in any American movie. In the past when I’ve made such statements I have sometimes been corrected, so I’ll say no more.
