Vadim Abdrashitov noted that it was not by chance that Federico Fellini admired the films of Marlen Martynovich Khutsiev:

"The film" I am twenty years old "by the script of the greatest playwright Gennady Shpalikov belongs to the heights of poetic cinema. And Khutsiev conveyed the "poetry" of Shpalikov's script in his film language. For example, the scene of a trolleybus passing is the atmosphere, the "breathing" of the picture, the most important component. It is impossible to translate it into the language of literature, the film "I am twenty years old" cannot be retellable, there is something elusive in it.

And on the set of the episode "picnic" in the film "July Rain" there was an interesting incident. The whole group left Mosfilm by bus for location, and Marlen Khutsiev and German Lavrov followed them in the Chaika operator's room. The group arrived, but the director and the cameraman are still not there. And they "rode" around Moscow for an unusual car in which horses were traveling. The shot with these horses in the car entered the film, and this is important for creating the conventionality of this picture. The cameraman German Lavrov was a friend of Marlen Khutsiev, he didn’t need to explain anything, he understood the director perfectly ”.
