Contemporary Russian thrash melodrama I had to watch the eight-part film Happy Ticket because of my parents’ love for Russian cinema. I did not expect anything extraordinary from the tape, but the film turned out to be even worse and more disgusting than it seemed at first.
In the center of the plot of the film is a very wealthy family Dronov, relations in which, promoted by the creators of this misunderstanding as normal, are not. The audience for 8 episodes will be waiting for the standard techniques of all modern sub-melodramas, turned into annoying cliches. The ending with a hint of incest generally struck me to the core.
The film was directed by Vitaly Moskalenko very primitive and uninteresting. Sometimes there was an impression that a student who was not familiar with the laws of the melodramatic genre worked on the tape, because there is a great deal of overkill with a black woman in the film.
The actors in the picture play pale, inexpressive and disgustingly bad. In their acting palette a lot of overplay and it produces more comic effect.
The work of the cameraman Sergey Bordenyuk is very primitive and emotionless, the picture is very faint, although standard for modern Russian cinema shot for TV.
I do not recommend this terrible melodramatic thrash to any of the normal viewers.
