Wonderful movie, but...
Why is this considered a Russian movie?
The producers are Romania Film, Mosfilm and Ralux Film, The story is based on the fairy tale Capra cu trei iezi" by the Romanian author Ion Creangă, the music is composed by Temistocle Popa, the costumes designed by Florina Tomescu are based on the Romanian traditional clothes, Maramureş type, also the setting is based on traditional villages from Maramureş and the director is Romanian: Elisabeta Bostan. Cinematography, Film Editing, Production Design in all of these the Russians had a minor role if any at all. Yes, the leading roles are played by Russian actors and the movie was somehow distributed to the west by the Russians but I think those that created the movie deserve at least some credit.
I think for most of the Romanians who saw this decades ago as well as for those that saw this today will be quite confusing that this is considered a Russian movie.
