I shall have to watch this again

Kira, a Ukrainian filmmaker born in Romania (now Moldova) married the Russian fellow of Odesa Film Studio director, Oleksandr Muratova and died at 83 on 6 June 2018 in Odesa, Ukraine. This film was her very first which she directed, wrote and starred and went on to make many others such as The Long Farewell (1971). Brief Encounters was a romance/comedy in the New Wave style but I think it was difficult for me and maybe it was a problem with the subtitles. When the young girl first arrives I was not sure why she had come to her house to work and later on with an old man at the cafe and he talks cheerfully about his family being killed by the Germans, I missed something out. I'm sure this is splendid and I noticed in the States this film has been brought out by Criterion so I just wish I could have understood why this was so wonderful. I shall have to watch this again, some time.
