Load of rubbish!!
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
If you are searching for special effects and supernatural creatures- this is not the right film to see. The events and characters of this movie are real humans fighting for monarchism in the USSR. Yuri Shevchuk is the leader of popular soviet rock band DDT. He plays the leading role here. The story is about the special family The Christophorovs, who can do unbelievable things with their mind or will. One of the root comes from a Tula country-side and is followed by some secret services. They are afraid of his talents , so they put him to a special asylum, but he escapes . He wishes freedom, but everywhere he is followed. I Think, this film has a lot to do with Shevchuk's autobiography and is fun to see it. This film is not that sci fi it is more dramatic and philosophic .
