What this film is about is clear from its title. Well, for distant motives of the famous story of Alexei Tolstoy. In addition, the naked eye can see that the creators of this picture also struggled to imbue with the spirit of the works of the mystical Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol and Bram Stoker. And they were pretty good at it.
So, Carpathians. The times of the reign of Mother Empress Elizaveta Alekseevna (yes, this is exactly the era of our TV “gardemarines”). Beautiful mountains, wonderful nature, good people. And then there is the evil that comes to people at night. Ghouls, ghouls, rising from the coffins of their dead. The local peasants try to fight this evil as much as they can. Or maybe they are garlic, aspen stakes and holy water. and helps them in this local father, magnificently just played by a good actor and soulful man Mikhail Porechenkov. He father he turned out almost "special purpose" - and stake to work in close combat can, and for a long distance charges with silver and fire can throw. He does not forget his main weapon, prayer. In general, if the character of Porechenkov was the main character of this fantasy drama, the film was released as a first-rate action movie. But the director decided to make the main character of Konstantin Kryukov, in the form of a full-blown midshipman, a metropolitan nobleman, a messenger of Mother Empress, who suddenly fell in love with a local beauty. And that one wasn't easy. And then it all started... Arrived in the neighboring village Gothic castle on the rock bearer of ancient evil in the person of a representative of the enlightened European aristocracy ... and the battle broke out!
Yes, a fastidious viewer is sure to remember here and “Van Helsing”, and “I, Frankenstein”, and even “Solomon Kane”. But for all that, I wouldn't call them "Vurdalaks" epigons. The film is beautiful, Porenchenkov is brutal and soulful at the same time, natural and ethnographic beauty pleases the soul, and after the end of the film session I irresistibly wanted to re-read “Evenings at a farm near Dikanka” with “Dracula”.
In general, it turned out to be a beautiful and simply pleasant movie. Some will see in it the beauty of the mountains and the sunset sky, others will rejoice in the combat episodes of the repose of the damned evil spirit, others will be pleased with the told love story. The stars from the sky are missing. But he has nothing to be ashamed of either. Shot in the classic style of a terrible fairy tale, based on both the layer of related genre cinema and the literary basis (from classics to folk tales), the film was still quite successful. Well, not all the same sheep only honest people scare!
Film by Sergey Ginzburg 'Vurdalaki' Positions itself as a film adaptation of the domestic story by Alexei Tolstoy 'Family of Gurdalaks', although little remains of the original source. When watching this film, I had more comparative associations with such foreign films as ' Van Helsing' and 'Dracula'. And although in comparison with these films the picture 'Vurdalaki' seems less spectacular, still has a number of its advantages.
Before focusing on the merits of the film, I would like to think a little about the current situation in Russian cinema of such genre trends as horror, fiction and fantasy. For some reason, in Russia, unlike foreign countries, the themes of the otherworldly, irrational, mystical do not get along very well, although they clearly cause great interest. Why is that? I don't know, maybe it's about culture. The same holiday, beloved by teenagers, Halloween, has not yet found its official recognition, in connection with which, many have to celebrate it quietly at home, in closed institutions, while in foreign countries this holiday is very popular. Scary cinema, fiction, fantasy - all this is like All Saints' Day stems from foreign culture, and is also considered alien, despite the obvious attempts of Russian directors to work in these areas.
To the script 'Vurdalakov' put the hand of faces who had already had little experience in horror - Tikhon Korneev, Alexei Karaulov, Evgeny Kolyadintsev, thanks to which such paintings as 'Dizlaik', 'Diggers' were published. These films received mostly negative reviews from critics and viewers and did not gain any popularity. Unlike these tapes 'Vurdalaki' seem more serious and thoughtful in terms of the storyline. If 'Diggers', 'Dislike' looked like unsophisticated cheap horrors category 'B', then 'Vurdalaki' please with their visual range - scenery, locations create a corresponding atmosphere of darkness. Watching the film and observing the conditions in which the main characters are, you begin to believe in the existence of an otherworldly force, namely vampires.
It should be noted that the picture of Sergey Ginzburg is not a full-fledged horror. Fearful moments, suspense in this picture is not at all. The picture in many ways is very similar, as I wrote above, with foreign expensive blockbusters like Van Helsing' and ' Dracula' based on the novel by Bram Stoker.
And the way 'Vurdalaki' clearly lost against their background in terms of overall scale, but if you consider them from the position of the Russian Gothic fantasy thriller, it turned out quite well. The picture captures its history and perhaps 'Vurdalaki' most close in its atmosphere to the classic 'Viy' 1967, as the events of these films take place in Russia in ancient times. This is a huge plus of the movie.
I liked the fact that the painting was not long. By itself, it has an average timing of 90 minutes, the events of the film proceed consistently, evenly. The final denouement is given enough attention, in which the main action takes place. Special effects, makeup look impressive. Of course, to the level of the same ' Van Helsing' do not reach, but quite seem natural and do not cause continuous negativity.
Play actors performed at a decent level, although it has some errors. In particular, Aglaya Shilovskaya did not seem very convincing to me in the role of a shepherd with whom Andrei (Konstantin Kryukov) falls in love. In my opinion, her actions are somewhat confused and unnatural for a young pretty girl, given the extreme conditions in which the main events of the film take place. Mikhail Perechnikov as a monk Laurus looked very mediocre. His character clearly lacked general activity, but Roman Madianov in the role of servant and companion Andrei pleased me - a very interesting and charismatic character, which was really interesting to watch. Thanks to the game of Madianov, the film does not fall into dismay and acquires additional bright colors.
The downside of the picture is predictability. The confrontation between humans and vampires will not surprise anyone, and the introduction of the plot of the scheme ' to save your beloved from evil forces' is completely tiring. After all, we have already seen all this many, many times, it was necessary to more thoroughly study the plot and introduce innovations into it. The movie would have looked better.
Conclusion. A good, exciting fantasy thriller, which, though lost against the background of foreign analogues, but clearly wins in terms of entertainment from previous Russian horror films and fantastic films in general. ('Viy' 1967 not counting) It looks very cheerful, does not allow you to get bored. When watching, there was a pleasant feeling of nostalgia and a desire to revise the classic Dracula & #39; Francis Ford Coppola.

A gothic poster, a popular theme, and a pretty good trailer made me interested in The Ghouls. And now, after watching, I still have a slightly strange feeling that 56-year-old Ginsburg, still shooting serious projects (do not take into account Love-Carrot 3) and planning to put a series about the legendary scout Richard Sorge, made mainstream fiction on a topic that sits in the liver of even the most fierce lover of bloodsuckers. And even with an outdated folklore name – “Vurdalaki”.
I'll just point out a few pros. Excellent shooting, as well as good computer special effects, and most importantly - it is a stylization for European cinema, or rather Eastern European, a very successful attempt to convey the color and mystery of the vampire legend, Eastern European life and color. In fact, “Vurdalaki” is not another merciless vision of Russian producers (not directors, mind you), who do not have even a bit of imagination, but a meaningful work made with love for detail. The viewer will not torment himself with the sights of Moscow skyscrapers, cool special agents in sunglasses, for some reason dissecting the night Moscow with huge guns (hello to the Night Guards and separately to Yarmolnik) and other attributes of a pseudo-cool movie.
Of the cons, I want to note the choice of the leading actor Konstantin Kryukov. There is only my personal dislike for him. And also did not do without copying niche Hollywood cinema, the same unsuccessful Other World 5 and the like, because of which the film has acquired excessive pathos and still has a number of holes clichés. Which, in turn, affects the plot: the main villain wants to “pump” at the expense of magical blood and become stronger and more enduring, the plot inexorably revolves around the romantic connection of the main characters, etc.
But, nevertheless, the film is interesting and unusual. Unusual in terms of perception by the viewer. I myself expected to see another filmed “for 3 pennies” Russian blockbuster about a cool pizza deliveryman fighting against a horde of poorly made-up extras of the Theater, and as a result I watched a well-directed interesting folklore tape about vampires, which may not introduce anything new to this subgenre of cinema, but, given the biased attitude to Russian cinema, takes a big step forward. And the shooting itself against the backdrop of the charming Carpathians (I don’t know if the film was shot there, but still) is pleasing to the eye. That is why you can forgive those few flaws and cliches in the film.

Unlike most newfangled mystical films of Russian production, “Vurdalaki” attract attention with a powerful semantic basis on which the picture is built. As you know, our directors are not very strong in flirting with various monsters and monsters in modern realities, but things go much better if you jump back a hundred or two years and build a story based on classical literary works. Not so long ago at the box office with pomp went "Viy". Let him be scolded, but personally I really liked him. And now the time has come for Sergey Ginzburg’s “Vurdalaks”, based on the cult work of Alexei Tolstoy. To be honest, the same “Family of Ghouls”, written by the author a long time ago, scares much more than another modern Hollywood horror film, shot for tens of millions of dollars. With a skillful approach to the matter, it was possible to remove a truly worthwhile and, most importantly, terrible spectacle from it. To the honor of Sergei Ginzburg, to the film adaptation of the “Family of the Gurdalak” he approached with all responsibility, filming a beautiful and at the same time tense story, periodically going to the bone.
The main character of the film Andrei, performed by handsome Konstantin Kryukov, arrives in the Carpathians from the capital in order to find out the fate of the lost confessor of the Empress, who fell out of favor for a completely unimportant reason. It is much more interesting to know what an exile met on the savage frontier of the Empire, and why he changed beyond recognition. Arriving at the place, the self-confident Andrei recklessly thought that it would be easier for a person with his high court position to simply impose his own rules on the locals, but how wrong he was. Instead of an easy walk through the picturesque terrain, the godson of Elizabeth will have to enter into an unequal battle with hordes of guerillas led by an insidious leader who is a step away from becoming all-powerful.
What’s interesting about “Vurdalaki” is the firm adherence to ancient Russian traditions, which are not without stories about vampires and werewolves. As you know, in Russia, sinister bloodsuckers were called nothing else but ghouls. They were afraid, they frightened children, and in every village house located on the far borders, there was a cache with an aspen pick, which made you feel at least a little calmer. All this eerie, penetrating atmosphere recreated in his film Ginsburg. Forget about the chic balls of St. Petersburg, duels of honor and military campaigns. This story is devoid of the rudiments of civilization and is built on ancient rites, strengthened by fear of higher forces that come with darkness. Each frame of “Vurdalak” is saturated with cold and fear, and we, along with the main character, find ourselves in an atmosphere of an eternal nightmare, tickling our nerves to the very final credits. You never know what will happen next, from which the tension gradually increases with each frame, making the eyes open wider and wider.
“Vurdalaki” is a terrible and at the same time fascinating sight. All lovers of high-quality mysticism to miss this movie is highly recommended. Still, we rarely have the opportunity to be content with such a classy spectacle, making the heart beat at a rapid pace.

I was expecting a passerby. But I saw an even sadder sight.
Andrei and Paramon arrived in the Carpathians to convey to the exiled monk Laurus some insanely important message, which, by the way, does not affect the plot. Why was the monk exiled even though he was clearly a positive character? No answer. After receiving the Laurus’ answer, why don’t the heroes go back to the capital? No answer. I can long and tediously list you plot holes and absurdities. But no desire. The characters of most heroes are not written. A small plus - the creators still gave Paramon at least some character.
Strangeness and horror begin from the beginning. For example, Milana, who in the 18th century had perfectly clean hair, painted eyebrows, perfect skin. The Turkish character is not a Turk. Or something. There has been a war between humans and vampires. Twenty years ago. But in the castle, apparently, someone was sweeping and filling the vessels all this time. It is worth noting that the castle itself is beautiful. And in general, the visual component is one of the few advantages of the film.
Actors. Mikhail Porechenkov is at the level, although he shows nothing great. Roman Madianov plays well. Konstantin Kryukov does not change the expression of the whole film. Why, right? Aglaya Shilovskaya plays over his sleeves, although, perhaps, it is a matter of spinelessness of the characters.
Congratulations creators, you haven't fallen to the level of 'Night Guardians' #39. I highly recommend watching another movie.
Once, in the middle of the zero two thousandth, the country was delighted with the release of the Watches. Then the domestic cinema continued the release of paintings with the genre of fantasy. With varying success. And here comes the creation of Sergey Ginzburg "Vurdalaki".
When creating the picture itself, the screenwriters were inspired by the story of Alexei Tolstoy “The Vurdalak Family”. But the creators did not act directly on the letter of the classic, but brought their own. Adapting it to a modern audience.
According to the story, the godson of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna comes to the Carpathians, where the monk is exiled Laurus. The lands on which the Spassky Monastery stands, since the time of the Turkish raids were known as undead, grew up with rumors and legends about evil spirits. And if the picture is mystical, the main character - Andrey - faces the supernatural.
But everything is tied to the girl - Milena. On the other side of the undead, a vampire is given the opportunity to emerge from the cover of the night and rule the day. Such a chance falls once every one and a half hundred years. And for that, the blood of the innocent Milena must be shed. Andrey has already managed to love Milena. And now he at all costs needs to wrest Milena from mortal danger.
Konstantin Kryukov and Aglaya Shilovskaya appeared on the screen as a beautiful couple. A Mikhail Porechenkov and Roman Madianov was literally unusual to see in such roles. So, they came out of their standard images. But the main thing - he!Andrey Rudensky in the performance of the antipode of this story ...
Everything on the screen is fascinating. And beautiful special effects literally lead the viewer to those distances. And it seems that you are literally among the heroes of the tape!
This is a movie that I am not ashamed of. And to see it is a pleasure! I wish everyone a pleasant viewing!.
I'll save you time. It's a very bad movie, but a superb alcohol game.
If for some reason you decided to watch "Vurdalakov", then grab a company of friends and agree to drink each time someone is baptized in the frame - you will get a lot of positive emotions.
And now more details
Amazing things. 2017 - on Youtube in the open access, regardless of film distributors and state support, appears and instantly produces a furor "Major Thunder": albeit in general stupid, but shot with a soul and immediately claiming to pave the way for Russian cinema in the modern genre of film comics. At the same time, the film “Vurdalaki” is released in the domestic rental. The film with a budget of 180 million rubles and shot with the support of the “Cinema Foundation” is dedicated to bloodsuckers in Russia, meaninglessly sucking life and energy, worthy of better use. Ironic, isn't it?
Probably, an inquisitive reader will wonder: well, how could the film, shot by the director of the critically acclaimed “Love-Carrot 3” with the participation of screenwriters and editor of the legendary “Diggers” and with the host of “Cooking match” in the role of a priest, turn out to be a failure? Well, apparently, the stars did not meet, not otherwise.
It is not easy to determine what the main trouble of “Vurdalak” is, since the efforts of the authors were distributed throughout the film evenly in a thin layer. From the very first minutes, history begins to stall: here they do not exchange for acquaintance with the characters and designation of the central conflict. The motives of the heroes and the antihero will be explained to us, but by this point, attention and trust in the film will already be lost, and the actions of the characters on the screen will cease to arouse interest, especially since the plot of the film will confidently surpass the hadron collider in terms of the number and size of holes.
Actors, meanwhile, are frankly bored. The gloomy character of Mikhail Porechenkov falls asleep at the bell, the main of the secondary servant Paramon (Roman Madianov) does not try, and to get a full idea of the palette of emotions of Konstantin Kryukov, it is enough to open his photo in the profile card: during the time spent in the frame, nothing will change, neither in the fight with ghouls, nor next to the beloved. In any incomprehensible situation, everyone is baptized. At the same time, incomprehensible situations in “Vurdalaki” occur every minute, which sometimes makes you feel that you are watching not a thriller, but an Easter service. Vampires are even duller and cause neither fear nor recognition as a force of evil. I’m not sure, but probably bloodsuckers get lost in the frame because they can’t be baptized, and no one explained what to do in this case. Well, either apathy is transmitted through a bite to the neck.
You can continue for a long time, it will suffice to say that in "Vurdalaki" if everything works for the atmosphere, then only for the atmosphere of universal hacking, which - we must give credit to the creators - turned out reliably and does not let go for a second. Transitions in love scenes, made in the best traditions of wedding videos, the minting of objects instead of fencing scenes, a dull soundtrack - and so in everything and to the final credits, where the word "cello" is mistakenly written.
Why is the review neutral? The task of the thriller is still to keep the viewer in tension (not in bewilderment, not in hysteria, but in tension!). The fact is that I walked out of the room in a great mood, and those who watched some “Devil’s Flower” or “Dislike” will probably understand me. When you realize that the movie is bad for all the articles, you relax and start having fun. In the case of "Vurdalaki" you understand after 5 minutes after the start.
In general, if you can advise someone “Vurdalakov”, it is only for those who want to laugh at a talentless film for a long time. Don't forget to cross yourself.
Honestly, when I went to this movie, I didn’t even expect to see anything decent. However, it was not so bad.
I would say that the strength of 'Vurdalakov' was the plot - he just WAS, which is often not the case with many modern films. And its development was quite dynamic and interesting, although in terms of revealing the characters, the scriptwriters clearly did not bother much than they created logical holes. Perhaps that’s why Aglaia Shilovskaya’s play, to put it mildly, didn’t touch (or maybe because the actress decided that if a vampire movie is about, then Kristen Stewart’s emotional range should be taken as a basis). Mikhail Porechenkov was not bad, but we know what he is really capable of, so he personally convinced me only half. But Konstantin Milovanov pleased, although one person, alas and ah, is not enough to take out the whole picture.
A lot of people scold special effects. I would say that some were quite watchable, although, of course, throughout the viewing there is a lack of budget in the film. This is also seen in the careless styling of costumes, and in the lack of extras, and in the absence of advertising. And you know, I keep thinking that if this project, but put the budget ' Viking', it would be a great film, because even despite so many obvious failures, this movie was interesting to watch.

Long ago, even before a certain writer Stephanie Meyer revealed her immortal saga about vampires to the world, the Russian writer Alexei Konstantinovich Tolstoy already shocked the literary community with his story “The Vurdalaka Family”. This story, in its time, frightened me. It was during school time, on one of the dark rainy autumn evenings. The memory of this work is still fresh.
Naturally, having seen the trailer of this film with the mention that it was shot from this story, I decided not to miss it in any case. I have no regrets.
First of all, the play of actors and the general entourage. Let the film adaptation, as often happens, can not be called an exact tracing book, but the atmosphere is perfectly sustained. Mikhail Porechenkov once again proved that he is an excellent actor. And relatively new faces for me - Konstantin Kryukov and Aglaya Shilovskaya - pleasantly surprised.
It was very interesting to follow the development of the plot, which could not be called trivial. Let the subject of vampires be a long time ago. But in this film, it is the ghouls who stand before us without sequins and glamour, which is already unusual and can scare us. After all, the most terrible legends about Carpathian bloodsuckers formed the basis. But it wasn't without love. And the beautiful views of the Carpathians are just pleasant to admire!
Before us immediately terrible and beautiful Russian cinema. I hope the new worthy adaptation of our classics will not be long in coming.
From time immemorial in the old Russian folklore there were evil spirits, monsters and monsters that followed the man in the darkness, waiting for the right moment to take him with him to the next world. Ancient legends, fairy tales and legends are imbued with otherworldly darkness, and although they are considered nothing more than fiction, it is worth remembering that in any story there is a grain of truth. In 1839, the famous writer Alexei Konstantinovich Tolstoy published another confirmation that there is a place for the supernatural on our lands and sometimes it takes truly terrifying forms. We are talking about the famous Gothic novel “The Vurdalaka Family”, which gained considerable popularity in the West, where it was repeatedly republished and even filmed. Soviet cinema also did not bypass Tolstoy’s novella with attention, but the most vivid and memorable variation of the immortal creation of the writer at the time was called “Vurdalakov” by Sergei Ginzburg, a spectacular and disturbing spectacle fueled by an oppressive atmosphere of hopelessness, multiplied by worthy acting roles of Konstantin Kryukov and Mikhail Porechenkov.
The plot of “Vurdalak” unfolds in the first half of the 18th century at the far Carpathian borders of the Russian Empire. Once exiled to these sinister, impassable places, the confessor of Empress Elizabeth was forced to feel for himself what is the mysticism of the proud Carpathians, sometimes acquiring the features of a bloody beast. Left virtually alone with indescribable events, the dignitary turned into an unsociable recluse who excluded any contact with the civilized world. However, in the distant and enlightened St. Petersburg, not everyone forgot about the disgraced Lavra. The young and defiant godchild of Elizabeth herself, Andrew, goes to the Carpathians to find out what exactly happened to the confessor, and whether there is at least some truth in what is told about this strange land. But even in the most terrible dreams, Andrew could not imagine what he would encounter.
In itself, the “Family of Ghouls” by Alexei Tolstoy is a rather creepy, tense spectacle that can scare no worse than classic horrors from the same Bram Stoker or Mary Shelley. However, Sergey Ginzburg set himself to shoot a slightly different movie in order to properly heat up the situation, excluding the known ending, reworking the plot canvas in a cardinal way. Chamber, enclosed in bounded frameworks, the source of Tolstoy turned into an action-packed, giant canvas, as if calling into the frame real magic. “Vurdalaki” absorbed all the power of Russian folklore, emphasized the stylistic notes of the writer, and at the same time acted almost impeccable mystical fantasy.
In the end, I want to say that the "Vurdalaki" actually succeeded in glory. And even if you are frankly not interested in mysticism, watching the tape of Sergey Ginzburg will be a pleasant revelation, forcing at least partially to reconsider the attitude to such stories. Colorful visual range, interesting acting work, majestic scenery and a powerful primary source at the heart make the "Vurdalak" spectacle, definitely worthy of attention.
In the Carpathian Mountains stands the deserted Spassky Monastery. In it, the monk Laurus (Mikhail Porechenkov) is serving his exile alone. The capital’s guest Andrei (Konstantin Kryukov) arrives at the Lavra with a pardon from the Empress. He stops at a post in a nearby Serbian village where he meets the beautiful Milena (Aglaja Šilovska). But it turns out that the Carpathian Mountains are not as calm as it seems at first glance.
The rather trivial plot, based on the novel by Alexei Tolstoy “The family of Vurdalak”, although it did not promise anything supernatural, was still interesting, especially for Russian cinema, which does not often address the topic of vampirism.
Even more my interest warmed up the trailer – dynamic, with good graphics and humor. You can watch it instead of the movie, because it showed everything interesting. “Vurdalaki” is not bad for the trailer, but for everything else.
First, there is a complete lack of narrative structure and causal relationships. Apparently, the creators decided that since they have written a clear annotation for the film and the audience has already seen movies about vampires, then you should not be distracted by “little things”. You think they'll show us why Laurus was exiled? Nope! The fact that he was exiled becomes clear in the 15th minute of the film, when Andrei appears. What is happening around us is not explained either. The law of the genre of films about the otherworldly requires the existence of internal laws by which heroes coexist. The possibilities of evil spirits and the limits of its power are explained. In "Vurdalaki" we do not explain anything. It's a given.
From all of the above follows the next trouble of the film – the complete absence of characters. Who these people are, what drives them, what their past is – nothing is explained. Because of this, the characters do not even look cardboard, they look sketches. This is also reflected in their actions. It is completely incomprehensible why the hero acts so and not otherwise, what motivates him, why he does this. Even the key feeling - the love between Andrei and Milena - is not revealed in the frame.
As a result, the actors do not play at all, since there is nothing to play. Kryukov in any situation pronounces his lines in a calm tone, without any emotional coloring. Porechenkov tries to pronounce his phrases with the voice of a humble, but wisely experienced monk, but it turns out that he answers a learned, completely uninteresting lesson at the board.
It is a sad spectacle when the audience does not understand what they are watching, and the actors do not understand what they are playing.
On the screens started a fresh mystical thriller of domestic production “Vurdalaki”. I’ve been waiting for this picture for a long time, and I’ve really caught the trailer. Sharing my impressions.
The events unfold during the reign of Empress Elizabeth, in a remote monastery in the Carpathians. The young nobleman Andrew and the hermit monk Laurus challenge evil spirits and the Lord of the Ghouls himself, who returns and wants to gain omnipotent power on earth.
The picture is more like a fantastic mystical tale, similar to those that are told in the villages at night, half-whispered, as if all this is true. Very atmospheric cinema, it seems to wrap you in a fog of mysticism and immerses you in the unfolding events with your head. The film can hardly be called scary and creepy, although there were moments that made me shudder. For me, "Vurdalaki" is rather a dark fantasy, with a voluminous plot, magnificent special effects and the spirit of the time.
Visually, the film is above all praise. The picturesque nature, scenery and entourage, the appearance of all the heroes and the ghouls themselves are thought out in detail, the film is expensive and high-quality, which is very pleasing.
I did not read the book of Alexei Tolstoy, based on which the film was made, so the plot remained a mystery to me, as was the final denouement. In some places, admittedly, it was predictable, especially with regard to the love line, but in general, the film gave a lot of emotions: there is drama, and love, and the struggle between good and evil, self-sacrifice and an instructive ending. There is something to see and feel.
The film will appeal to lovers of mysticism, adventure and everything unusual. I did not regret watching this fascinating and beautiful story with vivid and extraordinary characters.
