Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath has so far proven very entertaining and quite comical. This film brilliantly highlights the uniformity that had been implemented during the time of the USSR in a light-hearted and amusing fashion. It allows viewers to more personally understand the way the people during that time lived and interacted.
I have found the film to be thoroughly funny. Some of the humor is comparable to American humor, such as the dirty jokes or references, but most of the humor is a little drier and sarcastic which is why I've enjoyed the film so much already.
I thought Zhenya's character was the most intriguing because he seemed to represent multiple aspects of the Russian culture. It was interesting to see how he initially interacted with Nadya because he then seemed to initiate some serious flirtation with her during their acquaintance. The idea of finding love in unpredictable places seems to parallel multiple American films, however, Irony of Fate, of Enjoy Your Bath presents this scenario in very different circumstance because the love story also seems to be highlighting uniform Russia. The film is filled with surprises.
Overall this film has been very witty and pleasant to follow. It has successfully introduced me to various parts of Russian culture and a very interesting love story.
