The film by Karen Shakhnazarov and Alexander Gornovsky “Chamber No. 6” is based on the novel of the same name by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. The actions are now transferred to the territory of a modern mental hospital.
The film “Chamber 6” shows a rather instructive story of the relationship between a doctor and a patient. The head doctor of the provincial psychiatric hospital Ragin finds in one of his patients by the name of Thunder a man with an unusual philosophical thinking and a peculiar view of the world. Gradually, he becomes so fascinated by the process of treating Gromov that he soon finds himself in the same hospital as a patient. close

The national drama "Paradise Tabs" with Chulpan Khamatova in the main roles was filmed based on the play of the outstanding playwright Alexander Vampilov “Duck Hunting”. Director Alexander Proshkin and screenwriter Alexander Rodionov updated the plot: moved the action to our days, adapting the main idea to modern realities and problems.
Such as Victor Zilov, called the favorites of fortune. The careless lucky man is envied by many, because he has a great job in a large news agency, a cozy house and an ideal lover Galina, with whom he lived in an official marriage for 6 years. The authorities appreciate the web developer, the friends of the soul in him do not revere, and women do not give the passage to a charming lucky man. Marriage ties do not prevent an IT specialist from spinning romances on the side and taking the best from life. A pragmatic careerist is inclined to commit meanness without thinking about moral norms, values and moral prohibitions.
Once the hero receives a certificate from the company for living space in an elite complex. But a smile of luck soon becomes a curse, and Victor finds himself embroiled in a hated apartment issue. He has to pay for life in the bushes of the local provincial paradise, conform to the elite and lie in order to maintain his status in the club of celestials. But attempts to start life from scratch fail, and a new position and another lover-provincial do not bring happiness. For comfort you have to pay too high a price.
The young man does not leave the feeling of impending disaster. Obsessive thoughts become pathological. Paranoid tendencies lead to self-destruction. It seems to the character that everything can be corrected only in one way - getting a funeral wreath during life. What's going to make a guy take that step? Why is it so hard for him to accept gifts? What is he willing to sacrifice for salvation?
The premiere of the drama took place at the 37th International Moscow Film Festival as part of the Special Screenings program. For the filming of the film, the prosperous village of Sukhanovo in European style was chosen, presented on the screen as a densely populated city with a touch of chic. Creating the film “Paradise Tabs”, the director tried to find a metaphor that would reflect the problems of modern man. His goal was to show not material, but spiritual poverty and the craze of compatriots to break into the cream of society. close

Our eternal theme is crime and punishment. In Boris Godunov, the problems of conscience and existential choice are linked to the history of the country. Pushkin says that these things are woven into a mysterious knot or pattern. The choice of each of us is also the choice of our own history. An incorrect individual choice or a karmic mistake can lead to a chain of fatal events. If a person finds himself in power, it can become a problem for the whole people. close
