Love, Ukrainian Style...
This is the funniest segment here; this team used a mix of archival footage from Soviet-era romantic comedies (wonderfully cheesy stuff, with campy performances and grainy film stock), mixed with Kievite-on-the-street interviews.
The whole basis for this segment is that it is so much more expensive to attract and keep a girlfriend these days. One disgruntled subject complains that "back in the Soviet days, if you showed up at a girl's door with a pork chop, you were in for a week. These days, these women demand clothes, flowers, perfume. Who can afford that?"
The week I was in Kiev was also their yearly "Up With Women" celebration. The funniest sequence in the whole piece is an interview with a drunken would-be Romeo, hanging around outside the stadium filled with 60,000 women. He has a cigarette dangling from his lip; in one hand, a beer bottle, and in the other a bunch of flowers with the dirt still on the roots from where he yanked them out of a nearby flower bed. I guess he figured the odds were in his favor.
Ladies, the line forms to the right!
