Chelovek, kotoryy udivil vsekh

It seems a parable. A man too close by his death. A woman telling to him a tale. And a solution, ecentric at the first sigh, painfull and degradating at whole, but the only option. Siberian atmosphere, admirable acting - especially Evgeny Tsiganov, wise use of silence and fresco of a very tough way. In essence a magic - Christian story about the solution against fate and the others.

This movie is very unique. First of all the plot is incredible (at least in the beginning). I was captivated and slammed to my seat in the first half, very good cinematography and very brave scenario, everyone is long bored of. There was a few bad points especially towards the end but definitely worth watching. Also some gore content is present.

Spoiler: The second half of the movie prevented this movie from being a cult. After the initial turn of events the plot loses its dynamics towards the end. Towards the end of the movie the main characters unresponsiveness gets incredibly frustrating. I think a great opportunity was lost there. The violence climbs abruptly as the movie continues but it gets hard to understand whether this is from lack of communication or people's inner deamons.
