Really Something, 21 July 2006
9/10
Author: Jeka Star from Israel

Very interesting point of view from Kirill Serebrennikov to the theater play of Presnyakov brothers. This picture is definitely above the average movie that made in Russia. Casting is great, every Actor/Actress giving perfect performance. Young and talented Yuriy Chursin playing comic role in very serious way. Movie full of humor and hallucinate animate (black and white) kinda twisted moments that will give to younger audience lots of positive energy. Couple of scenes Monologues actually are unforgettable, Captan in the Japanise restaurant and scene in the swimming pool you'll love it. i'll have to add that movie contains very strong language and some male nudity. Very good cinematography (my opinion) concept is not very clear what makes the whole movie brilliant. This movie you can see not once. I recommend to watch it in a group. It is movie for a genre, because I'm in this genre it is fit for me.

So bottom line if you young have scenes of humor and not afraid of unknown actors (accept of Lia Ahidjakova) this is movie for you.
