Feature Film
Director: Pawel Pawlikowski
Writers: Gennadi Ostrovsky, Pawel Pawlikowski
Cinematographer: Witold Stok
Composer: Zdzislaw Szostak
Cast: Sergei Bodrov Jr., Anna Friel, Vladimir Ilyin, Robert Knepper, Anna Kamenkova, Leonid Kuravlyov, Aleksei Khardikov, Anna Yanovskaya
This rather curious feature debut from Pawlikowski, following the misadventures, dalliances, and bizarre encounters of a budding freelance news cameraman in Moscow, lacks the ethereal, lyrical beauty of his subsequent films, and quite what he is trying to say is never really clear, but that’s not to say that the film is a failure, on the contrary, there is much here to admire: Bodrov’s typically restrained performance, Ilyin’s joyously flamboyant performance, and some deliciously quirky black-humour, and of course the delectable miss Friel is never less than watchable.
