I find just about all of Smirnova's films so interesting, surprising and enjoyable. It's a shame that she had to have her career exactly in the era when the money for this sort of thing was barely available, and was not nearly as artistically productive as she could have been only a decade earlier.

There's still one film of hers I'd like to translate, but I can't find it - «Когда я был лягушкой» (1992, Приз МКФ «КРОК – 93», Киев).
