A slice of Russian life... thick as a thick Ukrainian borsht

I seem to recall someone posting on "La Noce" before, but can't find any traces.

The 2000 Russian film is a riot. There are some guys here who dig that stuff, so they will enjoy this raw and crude presentation which places normal people into colorless and hopeless surrounding, and then lets them behave as they want... the result is rewarding, but almost bizarre.

Bizarre it might be, but amazingly it is actually true to the subject, even if the story is a bit contrived. You can go to any number of small Russian towns today and find people just like that.

This is definitely not the Moscow life one sees in many recent polished Russian films, and that makes film more than worth getting for your buck-fifty - at the very least you will walk away wondering how people manage to preserve their humanity in such a pressure cooker...
