Inspired by Flaubert’s Madame Bovary, Sokurov’s Save and Protect recalls the most crucial events of Emma’s decline and fall: affairs with the aristocratic Rodolphe and the student Leon, the humiliation that follows her husband’s botching of the operation on the stable boy’s clubfoot. The universality of the theme of eternal struggle between the soul and the flesh is conveyed through the absence of specific reference to time or place: although the film seems to begin in 1840, its surreal mode effortlessly accommodates an automobile and the strains of “When the Saints Go Marching In” on an off-screen radio. Focusing on passion from a woman’s perspective and downplaying plot, Sokurov explores his subject in exquisite detail, capturing not only the heat of passion but also the quiet moments before and after and the innocent sensuousness of the body. close

The bureaucratic epos on the dialogues and plots of Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin "The History of a Town". In a metaphorical and grotesque form, the film conveys the history of Russia from the calling of the Varangians until the end of the 20th century. The film traces the change of the “chiefs” of the county town of Glupov, which differ in varying degrees of tyranny and the corresponding total number of “killed” city residents. The heads of the city easily guess the former heads of the Russian state and the USSR. close

Extraordinarily detailed and beautifully drawn animation of a bizarre and surreal world; the domestic life of a fat man, his wife, a sort of oversized obese chicken, and their child/pet, a slug-like creature with a human head.

Alexander Galibin in the drama based on the stories of Mikhail Bulgakov "The history of the disease". Kolya went to school when the streets were shot, and since then no news from him. There is a civil war going on. The mother sends the eldest son to search for his brother: I will not live long like this. I see madness. You're the oldest, and I know you love him. Give Kohl back. Give it back. You're the senior. Big brother's in the hospital now. The cart he was driving in was hit by a bomb. The driver found some paper and executed. He called the general a beast. The doctor who came to see him was this general. The verdict is schizophrenia, hopeless. It remains to lie in the room and remember how the squadron went, he met his brother, talked and waited for his return. . An hour later, I saw him. Also, trotting, he was coming back. There was no squadron. Only two riders with peaks galloped on the sides, and one of them - the right - constantly leaned towards his brother, as if whispering something to him. Squeezing from the sun, I looked at a strange masquerade. He left in a grey cap, came back in red. No hair, no forehead. Instead, there was a red wreath with yellow teeth. close

The film “Nautilus” was shot in 1990 by director Vladimir Shamshurin based on the script by Svyatoslav Tarakhovsky. The genre of the painting is a drama.
Characteristics of the plot
The main character – Felix – lives a rather dramatic period of life: Chernenko’s funeral, Gorbachev’s coming to power, Ligachev’s criticism of Yeltsin, the bored deficit, the endless queue, the impenetrable blat, the tragedy of the war in Afghanistan...
An educated engineer decides to get away from the unsightly reality in a rather unique way: he is taken to work as a janitor. The character seems to lie on the very social bottom, locking himself in a cramped chamber and diligently pretending that he is absolutely not capable of interest.
However, in Afghanistan, a younger brother tragically dies, and in the yard of the house, daily swept by the hero, cars appear, in the trunks of which scarce goods are loaded from the back entrance to the local store.
The creators of the social drama "Nautilus"
In addition to the director and screenwriter, Georgy Mayer (as an operator), Sergey Sidelnikov (as a composer), Anatoly Pichugin (as an artist) took part in the creation of the film. The acting team is composed by: Leonid Lutvinsky, Elena Starostin, Rimma Latypova, Nikita Vysotsky, Valery Barinov, Alexander Pankratov-Cherny, etc.
Who will be interested in the tape "Nautilus"
The picture will be interesting to all those who are passionate about the history of their country – sometimes criminal, sometimes tragic, much less happy and bright. close
