Quote:
The spirit of Tarkovsky is never far from this rebarbative fable of guilt and atonement by Pavel Lounguine.

A prologue set in 1943 reveals how a young Russian sailor, captured by the Nazis, saved his own life by shooting his captain. Thirty years later the man, Anatoly (Pyotr Mamonov), lives a monkish existence on a remote island in the White Sea, begging God to forgive his “sin” and baffling his fellow monks with his strange behaviour. The film’s austere palette of white, black and icy blues are contrasted with the fiery reds of the furnace Anatoly tends – his personal hellfire or a purifying flame? Nothing much is certain in this bleakly enigmatic tale, which moves at a pace most will find unacceptable. Those who stay the course will perhaps, like the monk himself, want to take a long rest afterwards.

Brigada (2002)

SYNOPSIS
Being the most notorious TV-product of post-Soviet Russia, “Brigada” is an epic story about a company of bosom friends that, step by step, is transformed, leading by ambitions and social conditions, to the high class gang with excessive economical and, even, policitcal purposes (or, one can say, appetites). The regular, form-building, undisguised, even pushy alternation of brutal and sentimental scenes especially excited the audience. Supporters (and, also, authors theirselves) pointed out the classical tradition of gangster sagas, while opponents accused this serial as a cynical exploitation of most primitive fears-‘n’-hopes of common people and forewarned about dangerous social consequences (indeed, many children began to play in “brigades” on city streets with all their ingenuousness). The very title “Brigada” became a kind of symbol of over-effective media product that doesn’t worry about moral; main actor Sergey Bezrukov immediately became the superstar of Russian popular culture.

Quote:
When brothers Simon and Sergei bungle an important drug deal on behalf of the local crime kingpin, they’re forced to make up for it by retrieving a lost batch of heroin. Trouble is, they have no idea where to begin. This shrewd gangster satire includes some 20 Russian film stars among its ensemble cast, cleverly costuming each big name to leave viewers guessing who’s who.
