The Stranger (film 1979)

Among the greenery of the parks of St. Petersburg flashes a white dress of a beautiful stranger. Together with the hero of the film, the prototype of the poet, other characters - visitors to the restaurant - we wander around the city, go to restaurants, to the station, to a reception in a rich and noble house. And everywhere we meet a stranger. Not only a hero dreams of her, but also a young seminary man talking about love, an elderly employee selling a miniature on which the poet recognizes his stranger, and an old poet reading his memoirs of his youth and love ... The poet stands by the Neva : by the organ grinder passes by, and a shooting star flies across the sky. A thin, almost transparent figure in black leaned on the railing of the embankment near the poet. Here she is, you can even touch her, but suddenly another one takes her away. The poet thinks that he lost her. In his wanderings, searches, he finds himself in a rich house for a reception. Suddenly a woman in black enters the hall - she almost materialized, his stranger. But, looking out the window, he again sees a bright and mysterious image. Which one is she, his dream? But a dream is like a cloud, you cannot touch it. In the afterword to the film, Blok’s poems dedicated to the creative artist are again heard. The credo of the artist, as Blok proclaims: "The world is beautiful." Just as beautiful is the city that gave birth to the poet and his poetry. Fantasy and illusory, high and low-lying intertwined in the poem "Stranger".
