Best movie of this year hands down!

Such a frustrating disappointment

Purely Joyful Movie!

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

I am really surprised with the previous comment. My personal point of view - this is really sad movie under the cover of comedy. I think Caliostro is one of the best character which I have ever seen. You know, almost all Soviet movies and cartoons consist of several layers and you can re watch them hundred of times and every time figure out something new. Mark Zakharov is a brilliant director and all his movies have a little absurd screenplay and magnificent sense. About the cast: every actor is genius by his/her self and great altogether. Just take a look at Bronevoy, Pelttser, Farada. Besides, I don't know any other movie which gave such amount of memorable quotes.

This movie definitely deserves 10/10. A brilliant piece of pure art. This is an outstanding example of how real movies are being made, especially the low budget ones. I can understand totally the above-mentioned reviewer for not understanding the beauty of it. I am sorry to say but this movie is not for simpleminded rednecks around /if any/. I highly doubt if any viewer not with Russian roots can understand the high satire of Alexey Tolstoi *for simpleminded also - this is NOT Lev Nikolayevich who wrote WAR AND PEACE, he is SF (mostly) author!* This is undoubtedly one of the best in its genre and it is definitely worth looking. I had the tremendous pleasure of buying this gem on DVD in Moscow and have watched it several times since. Greatly recommended!

This one of the films which can be used as a test for ones intelligence. It calls for an ability to understand subtle multilayered humor, hints, double-meanings and symbolisms. It`s rating speaks for itself. Where else can you see such a mixture of humor and philosophy. First the phrase brings the laughter, but leaves you thinking further and further.Everything is so full of talent, wit and kind wisdom, that it grabs you even if you watch it for hundred times. This is a quality of real art.The script is written by Gorin, who is da Vinci of satirical humor, most of the text has already embedded itself into a former Soviet country modern day folklore.

Wonderful script! Story about Count di Cagliostro - surrounded by extravagant assistants (con artists), coming to Russia. Got himself into trouble, within short period of time, he had to run away from law enforcement troops. On his way from St. Petersburg to Europe Cagliostro with his cortege, manages to break his carriage, and stuck in the middle of the Russia for unknown period of time...
