The Very Same Munchhausen

The Very Same Mnchhausen Russian , Tot samyy Myunkhgauzen, alt. translation That Very Mnchhausen is a 1979 Soviet television movie directed by Mark Zakharov, based on a script by Grigoriy Gorin. The film relays the story of the barons life after the adventures portrayed in the Baron Munchausen stories, particularly his struggle to prove himself sane. Mnchhausen is portrayed as a multidimensional, colourful, nonconformist man living in a grey, plain, dull and conformist society that ultimately tries to destroy him. The film, created during late years of the Leonid Brezhnev rule, has been widely regarded as a tongueincheek satire of the Soviet Stagnation Era society.
