Crazy Prince: Playing Ho Tough and slightly absurd manner of narration of the director Boris Yukhananov in his film “Game in KhO” tells about cuttings of quite different forms of perception, with monologues and dialogues of persons participating in this film. What is the beauty of the art house is that any stupidity and emptiness can be presented as something genius. Being not such a fine-thinking spectator, I still tried to perceive at least what is happening on the screen, and even many moments from the picture, which turned out to be too stupid (extra), I blamed on my own unconsciousness and amateurism.
In fact, it conveys the mood of that era, the “troubled times” of the Soviet Union, when everyone said what he wanted, but did not know what to say and why. So it seemed to me that the heroes, carrying another rather controversial “thoughts about the eternal”, do not fully realize what they are talking about. The change of scenery of the characters fortunately occurs, and this somehow adds to the dynamics of the picture, because not everyone can withstand a whole hour of monotonous saying. The only scene that really angered me was when near the convulsed Mikhailovsky, he walked with a terrible appearance, the “genius of necrorealism” Eugene Yufit, despite the fact that preschool children were present in the frame. Even if they were explained in such a vein that it is “adults indulge”, I am sure such antics will not pass by the child’s psyche. From the positive I can note the acting of the notorious Nikita Mikhailovsky and Marat Gelfand. I liked the scene with the almost final monologue of the hero Gelfand and his act of rebirth “from the ashes”.
Cinema, which in my opinion shows the flight of human thought, burdened by the frailty of being. And time is wrong, and everything is wrong. And if not for the boring monotony of several scenes and frames, and sometimes excessive absurdity, I would endow this film with a review of green. You don't. The gray film is gray.
I understand that this is true for everyone, Pop. It's pop.
