Romantic Comedy
5 Stars
I rented this movie via Amazon.com, and I'm not positive how
long it is, but it's about 90 minutes. It's an independent movie based on
Dostoevsky's novella White Nights. Wait. What? A comedy based on dark and heavy
Russian lit? Yes. Amin Matalqa found humor, a lot of it, in the novella, and
put together one of the truly funniest movies I've seen in years. The cast was
marvelous – none of whom I was familiar with, and all of whom were fantastic!
Blind Nastenka is in love with Steve, a missionary in Africa. Fyo is in love
with Nastenka. Steve is in love with Steve. I seldom watch comedy, and even
less seldom watch romance, so for me to recommend a romantic comedy, well, pay
attention!
