Miracle-Maker

1922 · 45 min Comedy
1.0 / 10 · TMDB

The young serf Eremey Mizgir is surrendered as a soldier by his mistress for his mischievous tricks. Mizgir ends up in St. Petersburg in the guards regiment. Resourceful, quick-witted, cheerful, he easily copes with his official duties and, although he often gets punished by the sergeant-major for his pranks, he never loses heart. But then sad news came from the village: the old people’s cow had died, and Eremey’s bride Dunya was being relentlessly pursued by the clerk. The soldier felt sad. Standing on guard at the rich, diamond-studded icon of the Kazan Mother of God and thinking about how to help the elderly and the bride, Mizgir decides to take a desperate step. He breaks the glass of the icon and picks out a large gemstone from the aureole of the Mother of God. When the loss is discovered, Mizgir, without blinking an eye, announces that the Mother of God herself gave him the stone.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a comedic tale on the contrast between rural simplicity and capital city discipline, relying on the folk archetype of a clever, good-natured simpleton. It explores social hardships through gags and everyday sketches.

What lingers after viewing is a light, almost fairy-tale story with a moral dilemma at its heart, where laughter does not drown out sympathy for the hero. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Aleksandr Panteleyev
