The opinion of the audience has changed dramatically.
The fantastic drama “Through hardships to the stars” became one of the main films of the late USSR. Viewers from all over the country showered the film with compliments, noting its innovative solutions and vivid storyline. And some fans even went to the cinema several times to enjoy the work of Richard Viktorov.
However, over time, the popularity of the film began to wane. Modern viewers are no longer so delighted with the picture. In their opinion, Viktorov turned out to be a confusing tape in which there is no meaning behind the vivid images. And the literary basis in the form of a script by Kir Bulychev looks like a set of clichés from popular fiction.
“The film is like a living nightmare: it is also ridiculous, convincing and terrible at the same time. Yes, Soviet directors knew a lot about perversions”, “Typical third world cinema, bad, miserable and, of course, with pathos for some special philosophy”, “This film is frankly not a masterpiece!” – share the opinion of netizens.
As a result, movie fans en masse refuse to watch Viktorov’s work. And in just a few years, the film lost its recognition and love of the public at home.
