A minimalist film, where the parable is its main component. Smart, asking so many questions, many of which are simply not, there are no definite answers. There are many symbols, especially Christian ones. Playing actors is aerobatics. A teenager (then, in 2003) Vanya Dobronravov (son of our beloved Fyodor Dobronravov) is simply incomparable. He's grown up to be a good actor. .

A was  or maybe the pope and there was?


Strange feeling...

Watching the film was not only not boring, but even interesting, as you expect a certain culmination in it, which should "answer" all the questions that arise during the viewing - from what madhouse released this "father", where he goes, the motives of his strange, to put it mildly, behavior and attitude to his own sons and so on.

But the climax never comes - the story abruptly ends, and to all the questions is added another: what the fuck? What kind of a joker is this director? What did he want to tell us?

Besides, I didn't like another moment. It looks strange that the youngest son, who at the beginning of the film was afraid to jump from the tower and even sobbed on this occasion in the arms of his mother, suddenly and suddenly appears fee and character erupts. I'm sorry, what scare? In theory, it was he, Ivan, who was supposed to be a nunny, and not vice versa.

As a result, the tape, which with an adequate finale could count on a score of 8-9, or even 10, publishes pshik. I feel like I'm being cheated.
