series Of Freaks and Men: The Films of Aleksei Balabanov
Directed by Aleksei Balabanov | 2002
With Aleksey Chadov, Ian Kelly
Set against the backdrop of the Second Chechen War, this gritty and gripping action drama follows a young Russian soldier (Chadov) and a British actor (Kelly)—both just released from a Chechen slave camp—who venture back into enemy territory on a seemingly doomed mission to retrieve the hostages they left behind. Laced with grim irony, Balabanov’s unabashedly nationalistic, unsparing look at the brutalities of war has the structure, and tension, of a classical Western.
