Russkiy krest (2023)
It's never too late to start from scratch
One of the most promising Russian-made films for a long time has finally come out on the screens. We are talking, as you might guess, about a film called "Russkiy krest". It appealed to me because the main roles are played by Mikhail Porechenkov, Polina Chernyshova and Yuri Kuznetsov. Futhermore, the plot itself deserves a detailed discussion.
The protagonist here is Ivan Rostock, a man who's lost everything, who has no purpose and literally burns his life down. He no longer believes that something can change in his life, but one night he meets a real angel and regained the meaning of his life.
From now on, Ivan takes on a task that everyone considered unnecessary and completely exhausting, namely the restoration of the village church. Ivan's enthusiasm is limitless, and what's a greater good, the locals also tend to help him with his work. It leads to unexpected results.
First of all, this movie is about an ordinary man who manages to pull himself together and change his life. And even more than that, the "Russkiy krest " tells that even one person can perform a real feat if he sets a task that brings Good. So, this movie is definitely worth watching.
Predposlednyaya instanciya (2022)
It's better not to mess with Nikolai.
How to live after death? In hell or heaven? It is this issue that the department for the distribution of souls deals with, the representative and director of which is Maxim. Everything is fine, life is getting better: a high position, and everything is fine on a personal level. But it was not there. Everything could have been just fine if it weren't for Valentina's ex-husband, Nikolai, who, for unknown reasons, begins to cooperate with the devil and if he terminates the contract, he will die within a few seconds. Therefore, there is no choice, Nikolai the devil begins to send ordinary mortals to hell without trial or investigation.
And what kind of stories they do not meet. For example, Maxim and Valentina find the insurance agent Borya, who also sold his soul for the possibility of the first contract with the aliens. Maxim managed to convince Borya, but he, after going to Nikolai's office, changes his mind and refuses to obey Maxim. And one grandfather made a contract for youth. In general, very unusual and interesting.
This series is far from just a comedy, although there are a lot of cool jokes here. This is also an occasion to reflect on what actually happens after death. After the first season, I definitely realized that I want more! I want a second season, and yes, after watching the series in full with the new season, I want to say that it was incredibly cool! The last series for me became an unexpectedly pleasant ending, I imagined myself differently. But I also had to shed a tear. If there's a third season, I'll be looking forward to it!
Of the brighter actors, I liked Dobronravov. He's just one of my favorite actors, so he became my favorite character here. Recently, I haven't watched a lot of movies with Priluchny, although there have been a lot of them lately, but here it's just like fate itself brought together. I have known Rozanova for a very long time, and I really like her specific game. In general, the acting game looks organic, given the plot.
Well, now we can summarize. The plot hooked me even after watching the first episodes of the first season, this is a fact. I am more than satisfied with the acting. Right now, when it's cold outside and you don't want to go anywhere, it's a pleasure to watch. The second season was a real surprise!
Na oshchup (2022)
He must survive by all means
Imagine that you are far away from your home, where there is no mobile communication, Internet, television, and to get to the police or an ambulance, you need to go through the whole infinity off-road. To be honest, I would never willingly want to find myself in such a place even for one day, but for Victor, the protagonist of the film "Na oschup", this is now a given.
Victor chose his own path and has no regrets. There is little that keeps him in the ordinary world. He can no longer communicate with his son due to the serios conflict, work no longer brings him satisfaction, and everything else simply becomes meaningless for him. So, there was only one way out: to go into the woods and live there face to face with wildlife.
Though as you can understand, the story does not end there, but only begins. Victor needs to survive and fight for life every day, and that's exactly what he wanted. Once he loses his sight while hunting, and now he literally has move by feel through the forests and confront the animals that sense his weakness and will not leave him so easily now.
Firstly, the film is beautiful. Still, the shooting took place in the wild, which, by its very appearance looks fr better than any high-quality special effects. I also note Dmitry Nagiyev in the lead role. He performed most of the tricks himself and it was extremely fascinating to see him in the most unusual and dangerous situations. It is not easy to play such roles, but Nagiyev did an excellent job.
Overall, I really enjoyed the movie and I think you will enjoy it as well. Such stories fully reveal the value of human life.
