The first shots promised a long black art house without much sense, but after some time to follow the plot becomes interesting.
The film draws into its atmosphere of emptiness, where all people are gray and wretched and engaged in incomprehensible evil for the sake of evil.
The characters of the film constantly give each other a hand. Money is the excuse for most of the excesses in the film. Against the background of general types of devastation, even on the territory of the main antagonist - the local authority, one wonders why there is money here, because there is obviously nothing to buy. They just circling the hands of villains, being self-worth.
Used cars and music from the 90s, playing in the atmosphere, the sweater of the protagonist, obviously references to Brother Balabanov. Behind the scenes sometimes turns on synth wave, extremely relevant to what is happening on the screen sur.
I would say that the film is a wild cross between Brother, Kin-Dza-Dza and something of noir. There are no naturalistic scenes of cruelty, violence is cinematic, which is especially noticeable against the background of the otherwise rough and gray realistic picture.
The motivation of the characters is not very clear, which is very unusual for a social art house. It remains behind the scenes, and then it is suggested to think it up to the viewer. Fortunately, the film provides enough information to fill in the gaps at its discretion.
