An ambigious film, blurring the line between truth and fiction. The style of filmmaking also seems divided: precise, textbook direction in the first half, and a natural, documentary-like style in the second. The outcome is a subjective dream or nightmare depending on one's tolera...( read more)
dark and disturbing. a lot of great visuals and some pretty fucking weird scenes.
I thought that I didn't like it, but I haven't stopped thinking about it. There's little plot, but almost every scene is an unforgettable visual story. The scene with the dogs on the street, the scene with the pig, the people eating on the train. I'll be thinking about it for a l...( read more)
Very controversial movie. I saw this film at a film festival. People either hated it or thought it was the best thing they had seen. The undercurrent of the movie is potential human cloning gone bad.
Waste of TIME!! Very Weak movie, DO NOT WATCH, if you do end up watching it, side effects may include: Suicide, murder ramapages, road ramapage, any kinds of ways of harming yourself, and many others...

Exhilarating, infuriating, mesmerizing, baffling, and out-and-out crazy, 4 certainly doesn't lack for ambition and outrageousness. full review
this has to be one of the strangest films ever made. its harrowing, at times quietly amusing, completely abstract and occasionaly almost unwatchable. but ultimately, its one of those films that will probably linger on inside your head for a while after viewing. although the storyline may seem to make exetremely little sense, this perhaps isnt the purpose of the film, and i think there is a lot of underlying ideas going on... perhaps about modern day Russian as a whole. the russian tourist board must despise it, cos it makes the country look like hell on earth quite a considerable amount of the time. the scene involving the old women getting shit-faced and tearing apart a spit-roasted pig is the weirdest piece of cinema i think i will probably ever see. WEIRD in large capitals, but undeniably original.
