Monday Begins on Saturday

1965 · 1h 3m · Science Fiction, TV Movie, Fantasy, Comedy

IMDb 4.8

Skip it. A 4.8 IMDb score is a red flag you can't ignore, and even though the satirical premise about Soviet research bureaucracy sounds clever on paper, the execution clearly falls flat. Life's too short to spend your evening watching a movie this poorly received—find something better.

Plot

Set in a fictional town in northern Russia, where highly classified research in magic occurs, the novel is a satire of Soviet scientific research institutes, complete with an inept administration, a dishonest, show-horse professor, and numerous equipment failures. It offers an idealistic view of the scientific work ethic, as reflected in the title which suggests that the scientists' weekends are nonexistent. (Wikipedia)
