About What a Mess!
A Russian criminal steals a giant diamond from the Mafia, hides it, and suddenly runs into his unknown brothers; unexpected, absurd events with participation of the mob, doctors, musicians, Americans, militia, and gypsies ensue.
Directed by Vladimir Menshov, What a Mess! leans on a strong ensemble — Valeriy Garkalin, Vera Alentova, Inna Churikova — 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 1995.
