Product Details

Product Description

A story about a young woman, Vera, who is somebody, living the life of a troubled teenager in the time right before the end of the Soviet Union. She lives in a very small Russian apartment with her mother and father, however being this close to each other makes the living get rough. Their daily life is plagued with massive amounts of alcohol (mainly vodka) and when she tries to escape her home life, she meets up with a boyfriend, Sergei who then moves into her already small apartment after sleeping with her. Every day little Vera has to go through hell just to get by, which even involves her going against her own morals after her father has done something extremely wrong...US IMDB

A poor DVD, an excellent film. Mar 10 2005
Format:DVD
The video quality is low. Subtitles (English only) are not optional and leave quite a bit untranslated. The DVD contains no bonus features. But the film is a definite masterpiece and worth seeing by all means!

It was good at a time July 2 2000
By Anna Shlimovich - Published on Amazon.com
Format:VHS Tape
I've seen this movie in Moscow, when it first hit the screens, and it was a really revolutionary one for those times. I think it depicted quite well the problems of the young people in Russia, also the grim details of the life of Russion people in general - drunkenness, rudeness, total lack of culture, ignorance and so on. For those interested in furthering their interest in Russia it will provide another source.

Strident and depressing July 30 2000
By Chapulina R - Published on Amazon.com
Format:VHS Tape
"Malen'kaya Vera" opened in Russia in the late 80's, featuring the nation's first on-screen sex act between Natalia Negoda and Soviet heart-throb Andrei Sokolov (sort of a "Leonid" DiCaprio to Eastern teens). Picketers surrounded cinemas protesting it, decrying the morals-corrupting influence of depraved "Western values". Actually the sex scene is extremely tame by American standards. What made this film truly revolutionary was the heretofore prohibited portrayal of toxic family life, including grinding poverty, alcoholism, domestic violence, despair, and youthful rebellion. The film may be ground-breaking, but it is also ear-splitting in its stridency. None of the characters are likable enough to care about what happens to them. As other reviewers have mentioned, the acting is superb. The film accomplishes its goal, but it is enough to see it just once.
