The name is Thursday. Our poor distributors do not translate as there is any title of the film, believing that in America they can watch with the title simply “Thursday”, and our nose is already turned.
The film is excellent in its genre - it is a crime and it has cruelty, blood and death, while not the most beautiful, and yet somehow incomprehensible way it is perceived as a work, not as a black woman. In the 90s, they didn’t chase money, they told stories. There was no such thing as to put a cattle eater on the stream, advertise it a year before the release and keep an analyst department that would tell you where to put a frame so that so many millions would fight back to such and such a number. No, they made a movie for the sake of the movie, and they often succeeded.
"Thursday" by the way is built on the classical principle of the play - the unity of time and place, there is no special action in the film, almost only the kitchen and show, but at the same time you follow the actors' play, their words, gestures, stage interaction - and you are really interested. It would be possible to stage in an underground theater and almost no changes to the script would be necessary.
The only downside is purely scientific. The hostages were tied upside down for half a day. A person in this position will die of a brain hemorrhage in 10 minutes.
