Surprise
By accident, I switched to our only Russian TV channel today. I usually don't watch that one, just like I never watch the Spanish, the Greek and the Japanese channels (which they give us for our money instead of German or English ones), because I don't understand Russian. Despite having had it at school for ten years. Speaking about passive resistance, eh?
Anyway, I went there and found what? An Ages-old TV adaptation of The Malachite Casket by Pawel Bazhow, one of my favourite books which I seem to have lost somehow.
Granted, I caught the story "The Stone Flower" in the middle, but that's quite okay. The most important scenes - the ones where Danilo goes to the underground realm of the Mistress of the Copper Mountains and sees its wonders were in it. As the TV-movie was done shortly after the invention of coloured films (by the sight of it), the scenery and the special effects are rather rather crappy - not at all what I've imagined after reading the book - but still, it was a great experience.
