Весна на Заречной улице, Spring on the Dawn Street aka Spring on Zarechnaya Street (1956) Soviet Union. Dir. Felix Mironer & Marlen Khutsiev
An excellent film made during a period of Soviet liberalization, known as Thaw cinema, Spring 0n the Dawn Street is a fresh and contemporary departure from the strict formulistic style seen in Soviet cinema of the Stalin years. It was a huge box office hit, viewed by more than 30 million Soviets upon its release, universally appealing the film today remains a much-loved classic.
The bleak banality of the film’s industrial setting is broken when, a bright young university graduate, Tatyana, arrives at the remote working town of Zaporozhye to start teaching Russian language and literature to the local adult steel workers.
A film with many levels of meaning and interweaving of many themes. A budding romance develops, it is a film about learning to see past one’s prejudices and preconceptions, adjusting to life in a new place. Across the country the economy is booming and people’s quality of life is improving. However, there are many who remain at a disadvantage unable to seize the new opportunities because of their lack of higher education.
Spring at the Dawn" was masterly created by a dedicated team of enthusiastic new cinematic voices.
The touching drama became a symbol, ending with the passing of long harsh winter, the sun shines on a new dawn, the blossoming new Spring season brings with it the hope of liberty and abundant opportunity... Highly Recommended!
