520    This short documentary visits the scenes of mass celebrations and gatherings in the Moscow Gorky Park on Victory day, 2000. Several interviews with war veterans are interposed with short sequences from war-time films showing the grime and horror of war. The director also interviews several younger people who were children during the war and who now recall the hardships of evacuation. The most effective part of the film is the contrast between the dispassionate, seemingly nonchalant tone with which the stories of suffering and deprivation are told by the war generation and the expressionless faces of the youngsters who flock to the park to "celebrate" V-day, turning it into yet another occasion to have a drink in the open. The director Sergei Govorukhin is the son of the famous Stanislav Govorukhin, director, actor and politician, and is himself a veteran  of the Chechen campaign. The film is lyrical and sensitive without being melodramatic or resorting to the usual clichés in order to capture the complexity and inherent  tragedy of Russia's experience during the war.
