"You I Love: the heart wants what it wants" is actually an autobiographical tale of a menage รก trois involving a television personality, an ad executive and a caretaker from Moscow's Zoo. Or that's how the films writer/producer Olga Stolpovskaya describes it.
It's a classic tale actually, Boy meets girl, boy hits boy with his car, boy falls for boy, too! Boy goes through much angst and nearly freezes to death, but eventually gets to keep both boy and girl. Well, okay, not exactly classic, but at least well told. Charming even, and with a sprinkling of cimematographical tricks, and humor, it's a far cry from other more methodical, stoic, Russian films that I've seen.
My only complaint: the cover of the DVD, it makes the two male leads look like high school juniors, and they are not--they are handsome men (Damir Badmaev and Lubov Tolkalina, to be precise).
A very nice film, worth the effort to see.
