03/06/2008 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. See more 01/05/2008 a black comedy, ironic, just how the russians like it See more 11/27/2007 The best movie produced in Russia in last 20 years, probably. A bit theatrical, but witty, deep and very true. See more 10/03/2007 Rather superb Russian rendition of a warped Hamlet in a modern setting See more 06/10/2007 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. See more 06/08/2007 A Russian black comedy. It's weird and funny and with a crazy "Victim player". A must see! See more Read all reviews
