Clownery

Various works of Daniil Kharms are filigreely connected in a single whole by means of a character dressed in a sailor's pea coat, which roams from the "case" to the "occasion", getting into various stories and leaving unscathed from the most incredible situations. The character is a nice embodiment of the revolutionary sailor in reserve, what was filled with Russian society in the early 30-ies. He is quite a good-natured "lumpen", not devoid of features of his class: impudence, self-will, impudence and unceremoniousness. In the film the works of Harms are screened: "Noise", "Victory of Myshin", "Grigoriev and Semyonov", etc.

• The intimate scene in "Clownery" was one of the first in the domestic cinema (a little earlier the sensational film "Little Faith" was filmed). In September 1989, when the first screening of "Clownery" for friends took place, this moment produced the effect of a bomb exploding.
• The film was looking for a long way to the viewer, and was officially released in February 2005. Counting from September 1989, the picture material was waiting for this hour for about 16 years. For as many years they waited on the mezzanines of the publication of Kharms's manuscript after his death in 1942, while Yakov Druskin did not start publishing them.
• The premiere of the film was held at the 11th Russian Film Festival "Literature and Cinema" on February 26, 2005, on the eve of the director's birthday.[1]
