WHEN I GROW UP TO BE A GIANT (Inna Tumanyan, USSR, 1978)


It's not the first time I see this teenage Soviet movie about romantic madcap scholar on TV - and everytime I find myself hopelessly glued to it. Now I know why - perfunctory research indicated that it was one of the first screen roles of Mikhail Olegovitch Efremov. It means I was right when I was telling myself - I know this mug from somewhere! And now of course the final scene with the drunkard-husband of his beloved school teacher (Liya Ahedjakova in teacher's mode again) makes perfect sense - Efremov-jr is widely known for his life of alcohol excess. Can't blame him, though - not in the least for starting out like that in acting. And I miss those movies terribly (this one in particular was shot the year I was born in) - they don't make'em like that anymore.
