Review



How is it "playing on the emotions was not into"? Only one moment where the household has finally gathered at a modest table, look at the birthday boy, and now call and call - and in the next frame the main character almost with tears in eyes in which time starts heartbreaking "White Rose" for bandaged Khmyrov ... is not that thin and bitter irony? Or when him gonyutsya eventually cornered, and hang snatch money and little man, dirty, are left with nothing, desperately throwing them in a trace remains - how can you ignore? That's how hard it sometimes lacked bread, but when broken destiny.

Film of those that now make up the image of the 90's, and indeed the height adjustment. One of those "clouds of heaven", "me ', etc. A good film, simple, but like any fairy tale, not without meaning. And look at today's social dramas, melodramas Shoot ... nothing, everything was familiar and gray. Not to what is not the case.

  1. At first glance, the film is rather simple.

    Connoisseurs of fine acting and directing unusual pans will be disappointed - not this be at the forefront in the film "Stepan Chichulin". The cast is frankly weak, children's roles are not developed. Against this background, a game looks acceptable and Usatova Sazonteva. Weak extras, voice, there shoals in camera work - in fact, it looks a typical film of the early 90's, when saved on what could possibly be to remove something.

      But the script is great. It is logical, clear and does not cause any conflict. Banal idea of ​​"not exchanged on the little things - this can lead to negative" beat so wonderful and heartfelt that the sincerity of the protagonist is no doubt arise.

    The film is not heavy - playing on the emotions of writer is not particularly fond of. Disclosure of the basic idea goes smoothly, without variation. The picture looks quite integrally: episodes from the general outline, no. Unfinished element and a hint of what could end happily, the film does not spoil and perceived bad.
