This is a first psychological thriller in the history of Russian cinema and to my surprise - it turned out pretty... pretty good.
To be honest, first half of the movie was a little too mysterious. It can often be reminiscent of David Lynch's works, but only in terms hard-to-interpretate aspect.
The second half of the movie though, that is when the movie really kicks in and delivers a cool, somewhat classic for the genre, finale.
Overall movie is good enough, but for what it represents in Russian cinema history - it deserves to be watched by anyone interested in thrillers and even horror.
