Служебный роман, 1 серия FullHD, комедия, реж Эльдар Рязанов, 1977 г | American reacts To Russian

In this video, I react to “Служебный роман (Office Romance), Episode 1 – Full HD”, the legendary 1977 Soviet romantic comedy directed by Eldar Ryazanov. This is my American reaction to Russian cinema, and I go in completely honest, curious, and open‑minded as I experience one of the most iconic Russian films of all time for the very first time. Служебный роман is often described as a cultural classic in Russia, blending dry humor, workplace comedy, romance, and social commentary in a way that still resonates decades later. As an American viewer, it’s fascinating to see how Soviet humor, relationships, and office dynamics compare to modern Western films and TV shows. Throughout this reaction, I break down the jokes, facial expressions, character behavior, and cultural moments that might surprise or confuse non‑Russian audiences — while also appreciating what makes this movie so beloved.
