About Truth is Good, But Happiness is Better
Based on the eponymous play by A.N. Ostrovsky. A story about an apple orchard, unmistakably showing that happiness exists, and that within our souls lies the capacity to be happy. And it is no coincidence that the kind nanny, who helps the lovers, has a "meaningful" name — Filitsata, which means "happiness."
Directed by Igor Larin, Sergey Zhenovach, Truth is Good, But Happiness is Better leans on a strong ensemble — Evgeniya Glushenko, Lyudmila Polyakova, Vasiliy Bochkaryov — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2005.
