I was not expecting much from an old and forgotten Soviet movie, but against all odds I was blown away by the unconventional story and the great acting.
From the opening credits we start to perceive an oppressive fuzziness thanks to an ominous filter. Indeed a symbolic representation of the pessimistic life in the final years of USSR (not that it is much better nowadays in Russia). Injustice reigns supreme when a young man goes berserk in a streak of evil deeds. The helplessness of the victims of such despicable acts is tragic, so much that this movie is bound to leave a mark.
It is quite an obscure movie but nonetheless unexpectedly memorable.
