When last we heard from director Karen Oganesyan it was with moody hitman thriller The Ghost (Domovoy). But the director is back now with something considerably more light hearted.Titled Five Brides, Oganesyan's latest is a post-war rom-com, one that seems to be channeling a bit of the Golden Age mentality.

Men are a major commodity.Don't let the overly cute poster put you off of this one, the trailer below is a stylish, playful affair. This one looks as though it could be a major charmer.

Unusual Russian hitman thriller The Ghost (aka Domovoy) is one that received a lot of attention in these pages leading up to its Russian release. Night Watch and Wanted star Konstantin Khabensky stars as a washed out crime novelist who sees a chance to rebuild his life and career when a real life hitman offers to tutor him, to show him how things really work. He jumps at the chance without thinking through the consequences and things - of course - go horribly wrong.
