Synopsis
Romance for Lovers (1974) — watch online on iFILM, a Soviet musical melodrama directed by Andrei Konchalovsky. Starring Yevgeny Kindinov and Yelena Koreneva.
Sergei and Tanya are young and in love. Then Sergei is drafted into the navy, his unit is lost at sea, and Tanya receives a death notice. She waits, grieves, and eventually marries someone else — a friend who was always there.
Sergei, it turns out, survived. He and a wounded comrade were found on a deserted island after a long winter. He comes home to find nothing is as he left it. The film is less a love story than a study of what people do when life doesn't give them the ending they expected. Innokenty Smoktunovsky, Irina Kupchenko, and Iya Savvina round out the cast. Konchalovsky shot several scenes as staged song — the operatic register gives this melodrama an unusual texture for Soviet cinema. Stream Romance for Lovers (1974) online on iFILM.
