“A witty, inventive exercise of historical imagination and cinematic style."
—The New York Times
In this perverse and fascinating black comedy set in turn-of-the-century St. Petersburg, a pair of ruthless, sinister pornographers overturn the lives of two families, exploiting them sexually and emotionally. Beautifully shot in aged-looking sepia tones, this unsettling, eccentric fable uses alcoholic Siamese twins, kinky housemaids, and Victorian-era S&M to chronicle the invasion of modernity on Russian life. “A sustained off-color joke directed with high visual style.” – The New York Times
