Some people spell the director's name "German". Others spell it "Gherman" or "Guerman" so that you won't pronounce it the same way as the nationality.
Like in other Aleksei German movies, there's lots of good snow.
Unlike the early Aleksei German movies, this one is full of noise. Rollerskates. Fancy cars. Musical instruments. Many-roomed apartments full of weird objects. Hanging laundry. Spitting. Hitting. Unilateral pronouncements. Lots of lines but little dialogue. Characters rarely react to what the other characters say. A lot of characters in a small space with a lot of other characters they don't like.
Yuri Tsurilo is effective and big as the main character, whose name is not Khrustalyov.
