6th-Sep-2009 05:01 am - Yeralash: cross-References to Celentano's comedies in Soviet cinema /"Итальянский" Ералаш

После перевода и публикаций рецензий о "Гамлете" захотелось чего-нибудь пожизнерадостнее. Так как совсем недавно начался новый учебный год, всем неравнодушным предлагаю вспомнить школьное детство - а именно один из самых любимых выпусков "Ералаша". Тем самым, к тому же, я немного исправлю перекос в своём Живом Журнале: в советском кино блестяще играли не только англичан Шерлока Холмса и Гамлета, но и обычных итальянских учителей ;)

To My Italian LJ-friends... and not only them :)

After my translating and posting two reviews about "Hamlet", I have to offer a cheerful something. Because new academic year begins, (if you are not indifferent to own school years) let's remember the superb episod of The Yeralash series (very popular children film short comedies in USSR and Russia). So a way, I can correct some disbalance in my Live Journal: in Soviet cinema not only English characters Sherlock Holmes and Hamlet were portrayed brillianty, but also the ordinary Italian school teachers were ;) I'm sure, you will recognize many cross-references to Celentano's comedies :)
