MOVIES - April 26, 1988

A Soviet film about ordinary oppression in the lives of collective farmers won the top prize at the 1988 All-Union Festival on Monday in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan--after being banned by censors for more than 20 years. “Asya’s Luck” by director Andrei Konchalovsky was selected from 22 films screened, the official Tass news agency said. Shot in 1967 at a collective farm in central Russia, the film was originally titled “The Story of Asya Klyachina Who Fell in Love but Didn’t Marry the Man Because She Was Proud.”
