Moscow Does Not Believe In Tears is an appealing comedy-drama with much to say about Soviet society from the 1950s to the 1970s. The cast deliver standout performances, and this is the film's greatest strength. The story is about their lives. The city's scenery is often featured, with cinematography that's good for a Soviet drama film. The score, however, is standard fare, but there are a few notable songs. Considering its high entertainment value it's no wonder that Moscow Does Not Believe In Tears became one of the most popular films in the Soviet Union. It even won an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1980. It's just one of those films where everyone involved in making it contributed to a result that delivers on all fronts. If the acting or the direction was worse then the result could have been another forgettable drama. Soviet filmmakers, however, specialized in drama films. This is because of the restrictions that were put on them by the government. Many good dramas were released during the Soviet period, and Moscow Does Not Believe In Tears is one of the most memorable. I definitely recommend seeing it.

Funny title for a Russian soap opera taking place from the 1950s to the 1970s. Three country girls who become friends while living in a dorm together. Katerina is a college student who works in a factory and she watches an apartment for wealthy relatives. She and Lyudmila pretend to be rich kids in order to meet well to do men. Katerina hooks up with Rudolf, a camera man at a TV station and she becomes pregnant by him. He denies paternity and she has a daughter she names Alexandra. Twenty years later, Katerina is in charge of a factory and is still unmarried. She has a lover, an older man who has a wife. Rudolf reappears with a news team to do a report on the factory but doesn't remember Katarina. He eventually meets his daughter Alexandra but nothing is resolved in this Soviet Peyton Place. The mood is cold and so are the characters, and running over two hours, I was not overly impressed with the Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears.

Contains Spoilers Chronicling the lives of three friends, Menshov's Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears has a plot that is familiar to anyone who has seen "Steel Magnolias" or the HBO series "Sex and the City." Divided into two parts, the film touches on themes of love, success, and gender relations as it presents the three very different lives these women lead. Although feminist ideals such as equality and independence are present throughout much of the film, the ending is decidedly non-feminist. First, there is Antonina who marries Nikolai and ends up as a housewife living a normal, if not dull life in the country with her family. Lyudmila, preoccupied with fame and material happiness marries a hockey player whom she later divorces when he turns out to be an alcoholic. Finally, the main character Katya is left to raise her daughter alone after a one-night stand runs out on her. She manages to balance family and work and ends up advancing her career to the successful position of factory director. One expects the film to end with a statement about the glories of single motherhood. However, Katya is plagued by loneliness and longs for a husband. She hides her success from her overtly sexist boyfriend Gosha who, upon discovering the truth, leaves her. In the end, this successful, independent woman cries in her living room while Antonina's husband searchers Moscow looking for Gosha. Gosha ultimately agrees to stay with Katya only after she agrees to let him be the head of the household. The "Sex and the City" girls would be appalled.

Films from a Communist nation can be Propaganda, but this is a Fairy Tale and Novella in the idea of so many Mexican Telenovellas that have been shown in Russia. This Film deserved its Oscar, and Vera Alentova as Katya is wonderful, let alone her being a beautiful Lady. The story begins in Moskva "Moscow" in 1958, and Katya is a student who failed her Finals, and her roommates are Lyudmila and Antonia. This story talks about the decisions that they made at a young life and how they haunted them, as Katya came out Pregnant and Lyudmila married a future Drunk who still cling ed on to her even after they divorced. Antonia married and had children, when Katya raised her daughter Alexandra alone, but longed a relationship. She finds it in a man named Gosha, and falls madly in love with him, but they get into a Fight and for a matter of days Katya is desperate to find him. Antonia's husband finds Gosha, and become the finest of friends, with it ending happily for Katya as her Knight in Shining Armor stays with her forever. The songs are wonderful and the actresses of Irina Muravyova { who played Lyudmila} and Raisa Rayazanova{ who played Antonia} were amazing. The Film has many scenes of Moskva in many parts of the residential parts of the city, as well as the countryside. When I think of this Film and as wild as this is, I think of various Bryan Adams songs, for his idea of Songwrighting is romantic and Blues saturated. Russia is a land of Blues through and through, for especially today, Moskva can be as mean as Chicago, and Saint Petersburg is the same, despite their beauty, for Chicago is also beautiful, but cruel; and the trials and tribulations of the three Girls in the story, are a perfect setting for Adams' Songs.

Vladimir Menshov's well-balanced 'Moscow does not believe in tears' provides a moving story about human warmth. About fortunes and misfortunes that can befell anyone of us -- enabling us to identify easily. This film also is about a very East European female eagerness to hunt after Mr. Right. Pressure is on, for in Communist society failure usually meant a lifelong condemnation to a poor, worried, boring and tiring life in some drab Russian provincial town. With a big possibility that your husband would booze himself up too much. No doubt this film's acting makes its strongest feature. Its uninterrupted, breathtaking quality convincingly carries you back some fifty years in time. To Moscow, the capital of the USSR. Although this Communist society has been gone for a long time, 'Moscow does not believe in tears' will easily get you back there.

This film was aired in China during the 1980's, when China and former-USSR was still bitter enemies due to political ideological split, yet, the story is good enough to break such barriers in political ideology and aired in China. Of course, the original intend of Chinese government was to use this film to demonize former-USSR by presenting the problems in Soviet society, but it turned out the Chinese audience was rather sympathetic to the protagonist and hated the sexist pig.

I asked the elderly Russians in my ESL class what Russian movie I must see, and they told me this one. Then I watched it, and figured it must be a Russian thing. Then I see all these 10/10 reviews. My God, how can anyone think this is a great movie? So much of it is tired, predictable, and cliched. Yes, the main character is appealing, and it's interesting in an anthropological sort of way, giving the viewer insight into mid-20th century USSR (if indeed it is an accurate reflection, and not mostly Communist propaganda). But the plot is all over the place, and much of the story line is hackneyed. And it is TOO long. Two-and-a-half hours!? What were they thinking?
