Kidnapping, Caucasian Style

(Dir. Leonid Gaidai, 1967, Russian w/English subtitles, 79 mins)

This Soviet era slapstick comedy is a spoof on stereotypes about the trans-Caucasus region. Eager young Russian folklorist Shurik travels to the Caucasus to gather traditional myths, legends, and toasts. Along comes Nina, not only a brilliant student, Komsomol member and athlete, but also a “great beauty.” When Shurik is tricked into helping kidnap Nina as part of a fake traditional pre-marriage ritual, great mayhem ensues. The film was the biggest hit of 1967 and remains one of the most popular Soviet comedies of all time. It inspired a 2014 remake.
