40+ Davecha "Russia-Culture" showed.
If there is a formal qualification for the audience before the screening of the film, "12+", "16+".
I can say “40+” here.
And movies are "artistic", "documentary". It's very artistic (in a good way).
Here the starting point is initially visible: this is M. Bulgakov and his story “Towel with a rooster”.
And the transformation of the Bulgakov zemstvo doctor of the hinterland, almost a hundred years later, into a doctor of the hinterland of today. 21st century.
This is not for the faint-hearted, since all this is theatrically emphasized not by musicomedy, but by musictragedy. It sounds like Schnittke, Wagner, Pukst - I'm not a musicologist. But a strong operatic-acoustic layer is superimposed here in waves. And also with choreography.
To the surgeon, the patient is just a substrate? Where's the soul? What is she? Is it possible that the surgeon is the same?
All this in the film in the form of meaningful phantasmagoria passes. I believe that this question is the key, although the director does not callouse their eyes, leading to this gradually.
And a lot here depends on the viewer - he is ready to accept it or, quickly tired, will miss. God be with him!
This is not a movie for everyone.
I managed to merge into the stream of the director’s consciousness and watch the final credits. I did not feel the rise of high spiritual joy, but the truth is the truth. (See the age limit below)
