The Muscovite-Sorcerer

1995 · 1h 16m · Comedy, Music

IMDb 5.4

Skip it tonight—this adaptation of a 19th-century Ukrainian vaudeville sounds like it's lost something in translation, with a threadbare plot about a cheating wife that relies on dated gender politics rather than actual comedy. Without scores to redeem it and no indication of standout performances, you'd be better served by a comedy that doesn't feel like a museum piece.

Plot

Tatyana’s husband left for the business trip. And right away the local ladies’ men begin to put the moves towards a young woman. At first she fights back, but under the pressure of good words and love-making she is ready to put up hands. But the husband’s returning makes allowances in the plans of all characters. Based on Ivan Kotliarevsky` vaudeville The Muscovite-Sorcerer, that, together with operetta Natalka Poltavka (Natalka from Poltava), was landmarks in the development of Ukrainian theater.
