Serdtse mira (2018)
8/10
A well-told story
22 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I saw this at International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) 2019.

it is the new film from Natalia Meschaninova who made 'Hope Factory.' I had an interesting discussion about zapoi (look it up) with her and Stepan Devonin who turns out to be the lead role (Egor) in this movie as well.. and why not, he has an amazingly likeable yet babyish yet intense face which he uses to good extent in this story which (like 'Hope Factory') unfolds inexorably towards a brutal yet hopeful ending.

All the acting is good actually and there's lots of animals too. We are hanging out in a weird animal farm where Egor is the animal doctor and foxes are bred for dogs to hunt 😦The sex scenes were a bit too tender for me but the story was great. it hangs together well with some funny lines.

The QnA was a bit of a carcrash like normal :(
