8.03.2017 First of all this work of art is not for the faint-hearted. However the complex storytelling and masterful visual effects make it a must see film. Director Ilya Naishuller: "I wanted to create a film that you could appreciate in one viewing but needed to watch again to fully pick up on everything that’s going on. Playing the multiple storylines out simultaneously, with each one affecting the other, and in reverse, was definitely a tricky balancing act. There’s a lot going on so hopefully there’s a lot to pick up on on repeat viewings that will be rewarding for the viewer. The script is definitely pretty violent but I was clear with my team from the outset that we were aiming for something more overtly comedic in tone, albeit darkly so. I really wanted this to be an enjoyable, fun, chaotic ride with so much to see and link together that, once it was over, you wanted to hop straight back on for another go round. It’s so easy to slip into a harsh, real world aesthetic when you’re depicting violence on screen, so you have to work doubly hard to make sure it remains outlandish enough to stay humorous in tone. In my mind I was shooting for low grade, violent and fun Fellini. Hopefully the final film reflects that and people have a great time watching it." https://vimeo.com/204150149 Director - Ilya Naishuller Produced by Dimitry Mouraviev and Ekaterina Kononenko Art director - Petr Bondarenko DoP - Henry Meder BFMblog 2017
