How stupid Zinaida Pronchenko is. I'm done with the dachshunds. A film critic, and even there, does not understand that the work does not have to be ultra-realistic, it has its own artistic language, images, processing all this for the modern viewer.
She probably, when you go to see Shakespeare, look at Romeo and Juliet and ask the neurons "Did people in Verona at the time of Romeo and Juliet speak in poetry? ".
No, hell, we didn't talk. But if you don't understand why the director made them speak poetry or what he wanted to show with a dachshund in a film about Russia in the 18th century, well, don't interfere with the art, it's not yours. Culture doesn't touch you, so don't touch it, disperse peacefully. Look at the documentary reports, everything is said there in plain text and without conventions, there is realism.
