It's a bit old-fashioned at times, but I had quite a lot of fun with this film about Nasreddin, 'the Robin Hood of the East'. The book this is based on by Leonid Sovolyov was also quite nice, and is a retelling of the folktales about this traditional underdog. Sovolyov apparently also co-wrote this film. It is a classic situation about a strict and money-hungry emir who is put to shit by the cheerful rascal Nasreddin through all kinds of tricks and tricks. It is not all exciting or funny, but on the other hand, the setting in Central Asia and especially Bukhara is a plus for me. The film dates from the Soviet era and even from the Second World War, but there is little evidence of that, this is an apolitical film that mainly serves as a historical comedy/adventure film. Great for an afternoon on the couch.
