Ninotchka (1939)

A Russian ambassador travels to France to recover some jewels seized during the Revolution but the noble who formerly owned them begins a legal battle to get them back.

 There is a worrying suggestion in the first half of the film that Garbo’s performing talents are going to be wasted on an emotionally repressed character who won’t express much range which shows how profound the character development becomes that she transforms so completely yet believably and is still identifiable as the same character from the beginning.

 The comedy is built mostly on Russian stereotypes which manage to float in the region of satire whilst only straying lightly into more controversial territory. The main character transitions more towards Western values and although it’s suggested the love interest does the same there are few actual actions which suggest the compromise goes both ways and the satire certainly focuses more on the Russian angle.

 The analysis of the different cultures was interesting if somewhat exaggerated since it focuses almost exclusively on figures of authority or position rather than real people. The main theme appeared to be the contrast between spectacle and pragmatism in which common ground should be found to balance the two like the acceptance that love and laughter are necessary but decadence is heinous.

 The jokes that are told at table are somewhat lacklustre, possibly due to the comedy style being so dated. The anti-soviet messages are common throughout the film but are significantly undermined by the grand duchess not really wanting her jewels in the end and using them as a cheap ploy to try and own another person.

 4/10 -It’s below average, but only just!-

 -Garbo made herself look more practical and stern in her earlier scenes by not wearing make-up.

-The film was banned in the Soviet Union.
