I decided to watch the film “Coupe No. 6” / Hytti nro 6, 2021, caressed in Cannes and by some critics, as well as having quite positive responses. The plot has already been told many times and is quite simple - a man and a woman travel on the Moscow-Murmansk train and we are shown how their relationship and even themselves (for how long?) change over these few days. A lot of people said it was a movie about unhappy people. In principle, of course, it is, this is really a film about lonely people, about whom we really do not know anything. If the girl repeatedly tells about herself in the course of the action - they say, she is an archaeologist, studying in Moscow, went to Murmansk to look at the local petroglyphs, then we will not know anything about the guy except that he goes there to earn money at the GOK (mining and processing plant).
Now for some details, please tell me which sane archaeologist, and even from Finland, will go in search of petroglyphs to the north in winter? And the girl is not 17 years old, she is not so young, she should have any life experience and knowledge by this age. Perhaps the trip was planned just as entertainment with a lesbian friend who refused to go at the last minute, but there is an easy problem, the friend is kind of a teacher at the university, and the time is not vacation, where could she go at such a time? The guy, apparently, with criminal tendencies, because the car, which they will go to his old friend, he, judging by the way he turns it on, just stole. I will not dwell on the rest of the details, I will say only one thing – I simply did not believe the film and did not imbue with sympathy for the characters, although it would seem that I should have. Most likely, it happened not only because of script inconsistencies, but because of acting, they did not convince me. Unfortunately, I can’t say I liked the movie.
