Can you make a cheerful film about Leningrad, set in the autumn of 1945? If you have seen this film Dylda then the answer is clearly no. Not surprising because the Siege of Leningrad 1941-1944 cost the lives of no fewer than 1,000,000 residents of that city due to exhaustion and cold. It was also clear to see from the two ladies Iya and Masha that those traumatic events clearly left their mark on them. Dylda was really heavy material, but nevertheless heavy material that was more than worth watching for me. The film had some very beautiful scenes such as the ritual where fortunately there was no evidence of prudishness, the dance scene to nostalgic Russian music and of course the beautiful interplay of Iya and Masha. The images of Leningrad seemed a bit unrealistic. There was little trace of war damage, despite the fact that the destruction during the war in that city was enormous. But despite that, I thought this film was very successful as a post-war drama, although the film was somewhat too long.
4.0*

One step less than Tesnota. Particularly beautiful are the use of color in the indoor scenes (what a contrast with the outside, what warmth in the red, yellow and green) and the close-ups of the two women together. I also really liked the gradual and fairly subtle way in which you as a viewer discover howtraumatized the two main characters are. Nevertheless, Dylda falls short narratively for me. Balagov seems to regard storytelling primarily as piling drama on top of each other. There is no air and modulating voltage is not really an option. The novel The naked pioneer proves that you can take a different tone on this subject. I don't believe Balagov will become one of my favorite directors, but for now I will continue to follow him.

This film is heavy and rawly realistic and it is not surprising that this remarkable war drama won a Certain Regard Prize in Cannes.
The reasons for the decidedly nasty situations in the film are not initially revealed so that some guesswork follows for the viewer, and it actually remains that way. Overall not very pleasant to follow, but once again the sad and inhumane nature of war is clearly underlined.
