Audience Member I must say one of the most intriguing Russian movies I've seen. The premise is great, and the interaction between people -- especially using violence as the medium -- is different than anything else portrayed in other films. An existential trip that brings along Hamlet, the police, murderers, and let us not forget, chopsticks. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member a black comedy, ironic, just how the russians like it Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member The best movie produced in Russia in last 20 years, probably. A bit theatrical, but witty, deep and very true. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Rather superb Russian rendition of a warped Hamlet in a modern setting Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member My favorite movie of all time. This movie is based on a Russian play by the same name about a man who works as in reconstructing murder scenes, as the victim. Hilarious, disturbing, beautiful. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A Russian black comedy. It's weird and funny and with a crazy "Victim player". A must see!
