Дом ходуном

About This Movie

Дом ходуном is a quirky blend of comedy and family drama, exploring the clash between corporate greed and the innocence of childhood. The film captures the charm of its characters, especially the director of the orphanage, who rallies his wards with a mix of humor and heart. There’s this palpable tension as they go against Borisov, the ambitious construction mogul. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it actually adds to the charm, creating moments of genuine laughter alongside heartfelt scenes. It’s distinctive in its practical effects and the way it brings together a cast of endearing misfits, each contributing to the narrative in their own unique way.

This film is somewhat elusive in collector circles, with few prints circulating and limited knowledge about its release history. Many fans of Eastern European cinema find it a delightful oddity, often discussing its blend of humor and social commentary. Its scarcity makes it an interesting piece for those who appreciate films that challenge corporate interests and highlight community spirit.
