Polustanok Whistle Stop (1963) Soviet Union Dir,. Boris Barnet. A lonely aging city engineer and amateur artist Pavel on his doctors orders decides to holiday at a rural coastal farm collective, to paint and for much needed relaxation. Pavel is warmly greeted at the farm, and two charming children befriend him, once everyone finds out he can fix things, Pavel can hardly get a moment to himself. The young girl Nyuska exclaims and constantly reminds him, "landlords must do subsidiary work" after he cleans up and moves into an old shack ... A simple, beautifully composed heart warming film. One of my very favourite films. Pure cinematic joy, crafted with original style direct from his humanitarian heart, that magical Barnet touch ...
