Borisov knows how to choose movies

I don't like the description of the film, which retells most of it, presented on KP, but it is described in a more interesting way on a foreign resource.I don't want to touch on the thoughts that the authors are trying to convey through the actions of negative characters. The NKVD is bad. People were tortured for nothing and for no reason. They just wanted to, or were told from above to carry out some kind of plan. It's very interesting, but I would like to touch more on the visual component of the film.The characters' clothes and surroundings work great to create the atmosphere of the film.Well, it's literally 1984 only in the locations of some unusual Leningrad.In principle, that's enough to make you like the movie. Unless, of course, you get enraged when they try to ruin and trivialize the past of a state in which you haven't even lived, demonstrating the excessive brutality of government.It's still hard to do without plot comments, so I'll be brief.The doubts of people who understand that maybe they are still doing something wrong and it is unlikely that it will be considered good for them at the top.While someone is learning this difficult task, they are overpowering themselves, because they are doing it for the benefit of the state.Someone is already in good standing, breaks down and commits suicide.For someone, namely the main character, the 2 factors described above become decisive and begin to move him on the path of redemption.This is the main motivation of our beloved Yuri Borisov. He is trying to atone for his sins in order to go to heaven.I won't say if he did it or not. I'll say one thing: the ending surprised me.Well, what did you want? Festival cinema, after all.

Few words

This movie wins, in my opinion, with its outstanding acting (from another world - almost literally) and with the moral of the story.

So many emotions. It was captivating.

I dont want say anything else. But I have to because this review has to be at least 600 letters long.

So I'll add that giving a 10 to a movie is outstanding from my part. Go figure, there may always be a better film somewhere, but I won't wait for it to give 10 stars. It was the right movie at the right time. What else. It's gracefully graphic if that makes any sense.

Enjoy, this one is worth making time for, even for the busiest
