Watch Mimino For Free

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I watched it alone in my hotel room in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. My Russian guide, Olga took us to a well-known Georgian restaurant called Mimino ! and she enthused about the movie . I am Australian , love movies , and have enjoyed films from Iran, Argentina, Bosnia , and a few Russian films. I can't say this was a hit with me. It was mildly funny to start with, but then was a challenge to keep with it. I had a few chuckles at bits of nonsense . I missed bits of the story , but realized the Azerbaijani truck driver was key to the plot line. When Mimino was suddenly flying airliners, I thought this was all in his fantasy, but apparently not. After reading rave reviews on IMDb, I gather I missed the subtle (?) humour in accents, mistakes in grammar. It was labeled as a cult classic ! Mimino had this awful habit of flying into a rage at the mildest check . I think his airline boss did this too. Not funny in my books. The music was charming to start, then I became unaware of it. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who wasn't Russian or Georgian. I gather that extraordinary plane was a Tupolev Tu-144 , looks like the Concorde.

Mimino can be said to be the single best Kino to come out of Georgia. A light hearted romp about one man's heart and the charming Muscovite smile that takes him on his journey.I don't want to give too much away, but let me say you do not know comedy until you have seen a cow being transported by a helicopter. Mimino also learns the Armenians are actually decent folk, which is nice to know.IMDb score 10/10, I would give it 12 but I can't. Top score for being a Soviet comedy that is actually funny, and bonus ducks for creating awareness of the Nation of Georgia.

for Vakhtang Kikabidze performance, one of Soviet cinema legends . for the music. and for the game with national identity details. nostalgic, fresh, warm, it is testimony of a time and proof of a kind of freedom. show of small things, picture of cultural misunderstandings, story of honest man in big city, it is not exactly a comedy but bitter reflection to sense of desire. moral lesson, like many other films of period, it is, today, nostalgic view of self - definition. beautiful images of Georgia, streets of Moscow, silhouette of churches, meetings and troubles, the secondary characters of village, the people of city, the cow in air and the adorable Hachikian in Frunzik Mkrchyan are parts of touching entertainment. In this conditions, Mimino remains a bright face of a period , poetic, childish and really precious.

i think that this movie is all about humanity and deep friendship - even the in harsh reality of former soviet union.and let me finish this comment by telling all of U: "Love is only what you need" I just have been notified that there no enough lines in my comments - so it goes like this:this film is among the very best that ever left soviet movie forge. and the movie director is no slouch.and the fact that i am a Georgian national like he is adds to my pride of being the Georgian.and i love u all
