Yesterday, I watched the film "We lived a happy life" or "Мы жили счастливо". It was a truly special screening and Q&A with the director of the film, Ilya Leutin. I always try to attend such screenings because they provide a unique experience, as directors share stories about making their films, which adds a special touch.
The film centers on the issue of teenagers in modern Russia being prosecuted for internet memes related to religious and political topics. The atmosphere, cinematography, locations, actors' performances, and music are truly remarkable. I hope that many more people will see it, as it's incredibly important and just amazing! "We lived a happy life" is an outstanding, very personal, and touching film. I hope that soon there will come a time when this film can be shown in any country and cinema.
Thank you so much, Ilya, and all the film crew, for making this film!
