Masterpiece!

Very moving

Anyone else like it? Any others you can recommend?

By the way it seems to be available on Amazon under the title 'Moscow doesn't believe in tears' (a proper translation for once!).
Just another puke video. Just another distortion of the Russian culture. Goga, a stinking wino and miserable poofta. Watch these vomitized brainfarts to consolidate your stereotypes about this country. Might do your listening comprehension a lot of good though. The above is nothing more than my IMHO.

P.S. And a pretty incorrect translation too - не верит в слёзы would be your 'doesn't believe in tears' - but that's a totally different shade of meaning for you than the film's original title 'слезам не верит'.
