Not to blame the Russian cinema is in crisis of ideas, or talented enough to look closely at the theaters ‘ repertoire. Movies that worth a look is enough, they are quite diverse, there is something to think and what to feel. The main thing – do not miss them on the big screen.
Best Russian films this fall. Worth the wait
Duelist
The trailer of the film “Duelist”
When at the Berlin film festival the films of Aleksei Mizgirev was at the crowded halls, no one still could not think that his fourth movie will be a blockbuster, but still on historical material and in addition is positioned as the main film event of this autumn. It’s only been a few years, and now the trailers of “Duelist” discusses the whole country, and the previous films of Alexei Mizgirev has gained new fans.
“Scrapper”. Movie about the filming
Icebreaker

This autumn comes the picture of another outstanding representative of the generation of “new quiet” Nicholas Khomeriki. He is also the master of small, intimate stories and also modern, is extremely challenging. But in his film, the action is also moved in the past, although not in the nineteenth century, as Mizgireva, and in the end of the XX-th. On the other hand, by modern standards, this period is not less (if not more) mythological than Mizgireva. This movie also expect, and also understand everything that is a risk. But if both these films are “shot”, the big-budget movie industry in Russia is waiting for the update.
A Film About Moments. “Icebreaker”
Good boy
Trailer of the movie “Good boy”
The winner of the “Kinotavr” and completely audience-oriented film, softening all the dangerous points of the history of a growing, but still thin enough and ironic that we it is not made out. The main role here is one of the most interesting Russian artists of our time Semyon Treskunov, which is hard work for many years sought fame and achieved it even before the entry into adulthood. Main advantages Treskunov is his intelligence, which seemed long gone not only from our movies but also from the country altogether. It turned out she was still in such rare instances, and observe by Treskunova so it is very interesting. Both on screen and in life.

Bird
For Ivan Okhlobystin is also very interesting to watch. He spent building his onscreen image is much more time and effort than Treskunov, but it made it so final polishing that can afford not to bother reincarnation and even, it seems, not so much teaches the role of the text, how much improvising on the go. The movie “Bird” is addressed to people of generation Okhlobystin, which are easy to consider all the implications of his behavior and happy to listen to Russian rock in his performance. Participant of the festival “Window to Europe” in Vyborg.

The sun
All have long been accustomed to the fact that Vitaly Mansky your movies builds as deployed metaphors, pretty dark and sarcastic, but a surprising inventiveness and the highest professionalism of their author. From the movie about North Korea expected the same, but suddenly the material with which he worked Mansky, was higher metaphorical idea, apparently, behind this project. Therefore, the film was a major event in the European documentary film and has already received many awards at festivals in different countries. The Russian car is very unfriendly to documentary film, but who, if not Mana break this relationship?

Student
Another example of how unrealistic expectations are a pleasant surprise, and not Vice versa. Many have heard about the scandalous performance in “Gogol-center” and the movie was waiting for mainly serious anti-clerical focus, which today finds response in society. Anticlericalist present in the film, but it’s not the periphery, and the story thus appeals to a more versatile and dangerous items. It is a meditation on fanaticism, which is similar to the epidemic and spread with paradoxical rapidity, because it is always very difficult to distinguish between the pursuit of power and beautiful ideas, which he concealed. Definitely one of the most important films of the year, represented Russia in the Cannes competition “UN certain regard”.

Dislike
Genre system, natural in Hollywood, in Russia do not always work. So, obviously, the horror movies we have inevitably differ from Western, and some of its subgenres, such as slasher, for example, can only exist in the form of comedies. Knowing this, a cinephile Paul Ruminov made his slasher incredibly funny, which can be annoying connoisseurs of genre purity, but is highly regarded by the General public. In Dislike kill help, which, according to the story, collected winter night in a country house for commercial energy. The characters screaming in fear, the audience laughing, the blood on the screen flows like rivers – it seems to be a success. Participant of the festival “Window to Europe” in Vyborg.

Twenty-eight Panfilov
Every child knows that “the feat of the Panfilov” was not, like many others, wrote about the Soviet Newspapers during the war. But hobbits and Jedi, apparently, was not there, that does not prevent to create successful films about their adventures. The project “Twenty-eight Panfilov became famous mainly due to the fact that its creators decided to shoot the film, raised money through crowdfunding – and took what he wanted. Because the story was invented is impressive. And because, what can I say, everything about the battle of Moscow is the real miracle, and fictional feat of 28 Panfilov against this background, not so bright, but he is ready and decorated. You can take on and take off.

The monk and the demon
Yuri Arabs have been transformed from a writer to the philosopher, the thinker, the whole planet. When this planet is in contact with the orbit of other celestial bodies, often a smaller level and rarely equal, there is a special effect: cosmic energy taking shape of the film to which you want to approach with awe and careful reverence. The analogy is not accidental. Despite the fact that the stories Arabova is predominantly of a domestic nature, there are always a mystic, a Gnostic duality, there’s an unexpected angle of view on everything that concerns the immensity of the human soul. This is true in respect of the possessed monk, miracle working and trying to negotiate with her inner demon. So not tortured. The film participated in competition at the Moscow IFF.

The groom
Comedy with Sergei Svetlakova is already a brand. It works almost always, and Svetlakov selects a classic situation like a “clown seeking love girl” and adds there reducing additional details. For example, in “the Bridegroom” he plays ex-husband of the heroine, who is determined to get her back just at the moment when she chose a new husband. That is, the clown has already achieved, once the girls and the situation is already deprived of such a romantic aura. But in Russia, where every year more than 60 thousand of divorces, it is clear to all viewers at once.

Collector
The roles is very rare in a movie. It requires perfect knowledge of the profession from all of the filmmakers, because when the frame one decoration and one actor, to hide any errors is very difficult. Is that a actor with his talent to distract attention. “Collector” is almost a perfect case roles. Keira Knightley has turned the story of the storm of all debtors benefit, and helped him with the stars of Russian cinema, the voice of the virtual sides of the manifold. It turned out a Thriller with a sense of cinema for a wider, thinking audience. Member Of The “Kinotavr”.

Want sex scenes and dirty jokes – do not want to limit gratuitous violence in the frame – let the shooting and beatings will be a lot, no blame. You can shuffle scenes and show in different sequences, you can let go of politically incorrect gags. The audience will take it the more grateful, the more “crazy” is a cocktail of images. So your audience “Superplay”. The film participated in the festival “Window to Europe”.

Petersburg. Only for love
Urban almanacs also belong to the win-win options. A beautiful city with its own culture, famous film Directors in the credits, superstars in the frame. The almanac is ready.
