About This Movie

Holy Moly! is a curious mix of melancholy and humor, rooted in Shukshin's stories. Yevgeny Yevstigneyev offers a nuanced performance as Nikolai Knyazev, a TV repairman with a knack for mending broken things—both machines and lives, really. The film has a slow, contemplative pace that immerses you in the small-town atmosphere, almost like a warm blanket. You can feel the weight of everyday struggles and aspirations woven throughout. The practical effects are charmingly dated, giving it a nostalgic quality. The ensemble cast, including Georgy Burkov and Leonid Yarmolnik, brings depth to their roles, making the blend of sadness and humor resonate. It’s not flashy, but it has a certain authenticity that sticks with you.
