We end the New Year’s theme of the December issue with a song by Anatoly Lepin based on poems by Vadim Korostylev and Vladimir Livshits from the film “Carnival Night”.
Still from the film “Carnival Night”.
“/>
- Ah, Tanya, Tanya, Tanechka,
- This was the case with her…
- Our Tanya served
- In the factory canteen,
- Food worker
- Attached to borscht –
- Pay attention to Tanya
- Nobody paid any attention.
- Was in our factory club
- Merry carnival,
- Hawthorn alone all night
- The whole hall applauded
- For the right to dance with her
- Had a fierce argument
- Fanfan-Tulip with Onegin,
- With Romeo the musketeer.
- And here we go again to the dining room
- The mechanics arrive
- About that wondrous hawthorn
- They say with delight:
- “She was under a mask,
- There’s no trace of her…”
- Hey Tanya, Tanya, Tanechka,
- Bring lunch quickly!
- They look, and they see hawthorn
- She carries lunch herself.
“Carnival Night” is the first independent film directed by Eldar Ryazanov. It is noteworthy that Ryazanov did not want to make this film: he was going on vacation and did not plan to work on a musical comedy. Ivan Pyryev, who was the director of Mosfilm at that time, literally forced the director to agree.
Afterwards, Ryazanov tried four more times to abandon Carnival Night: at the stage of writing the script, during pre-production, and twice after the first material was filmed. Pyryev also advised Ryazanov to take Lyudmila Gurchenko for the role of Lenochka Krylova, and Igor Ilyinsky for the role of Ogurtsov.
In the ranking of films that help Russians create a New Year’s mood, “Carnival Night” takes second place, second only to the film “The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!”
