Moscow Does Not Believe In Tears definitely reminded me of Irony of Fate. It was a love story, but a twisted love story. Since joining Russian cinema I have a different view on the films of today. Moscow Does Not Believe In Tears and Irony of Fate don't follow the typical love story but are much more ironic, "fate-driven", and quirky which are all things I find pretty entertaining.
I enjoyed the film because the characters attitudes and morals in the first part of the film seem to represent their latter outcome. I also liked that the film showed how the "big city" can influence a person or at least cause some sort of tension or pressure on their given living conditions. I respected that the film portrayed Katerina as such and independent and strong woman. I'm not sure the role women played during the Thaw/Stagnation period but I wouldn't of thought that a woman would have been portrayed as so strong especially considering that she "did wrong" by most of society's eyes.
Overall, I enjoyed this film because it was a simple, funny, and heartwarming story of love, life, and karma.
