series Of Freaks and Men: The Films of Aleksei Balabanov
Directed by Aleksei Balabanov | 1997
With Sergey Bodrov Jr., Viktor Sukhorukov, Svetlana Pismichenko
“Terrifically stylish … has a thread of cynical humor that connects it to the American gangster movies of the 1930's as well as to more recent films like Goodfellas.”
—The New York Times
After being released from the army, music-obsessed Danila (Bodrov Jr.) heads to St. Petersburg in search of his older brother, who swiftly inducts him into a violent criminal underworld. Taking to his new job as a hit man like a duck to water, Danila is part thug, part avenging angel—a criminal with a half-formed conscience who lives by his own primitive code of ethics. Balabanov’s “terrifically stylish” (The New York Times) breakout commercial hit was an enormous success in Russia, capturing the sick soul of post-Soviet youth in grimy detail.
