The film set in the mid 1990s outside of St. Petersburg tells the story of an ethnic Yakut, Major Skryabin, a shell-shocked veteran of the Afghan-Soviet War, who works as a stoker. Every once in a while a group of local gangsters led by his once comrade-in-arms come by to his workplace and residence to get rid of inconvenient corpses. As the story unravels the character's fates become fatally intertwined. It becomes only a matter of waiting to see when the war hero would rebel.

The revenge of a small man

"A Stoker" is one of the last films of Aleksey Balabanov, the cult director of the new Russian cinema. The story of the revenge of a small man, a former major, who is brilliantly played by unprofessional Yakut actor Mikhail Skryabin.

The best Balabanov's movie

The best movie from Balabanov with perfectly matching music from Didyulya. It's not a surprise that its special rhythm, language and symbols are not accepted by everyone. Actually it was shot in Kronstadt. Although it's not far from Saint Petersburg, it's style is still somewhat different.

100% Balabanov - Good movie

Yes, a good movie: good picture, good (very good) camera, good acting of the fireman that is in the cast of cargo 200 too; other actors are "street real" and they are great for what they have to do. The music is perfect, and the 90's Russia atmosphere is almost in every frame of this movie. If you love Russian atmosphere, gangster, shooting, action this is the film for you: this film shows something that nobody wants to remember but you have to watch other films of this great director and study a bit of history (maybe even go to little Odessa and have a talk with someone) if you want to appreciate it all. It is not the story that makes the point is everything around it, that is why i love Balabanov. Great work Mr. Balabanov Sorry for my bad English Greetings from Italy.

Destroyed by the music

The movie had interesting scenes, characters and good cinematography but ... everything was ruined by the painful music that distracted from the beginning to the end, or my end. It felt like torture. I couldn't watch more than 20 minutes. Terrible.

The best movie ever

One of the best Balabanov movies. It was shot in Kronstadt, located on Kotlin island near Saint Petersburg. The atmosphere of the 1990-ies in Russian is perfectly depicted together with the sad fate of the minor nation of Yakuts in the old Russian empire. The main mail characters are subject to the post-traumatic syndrome of the cruel Soviet-Afghanistan war in 1980-ies. But the philosophical meaning of the movie is much deeper than these recent circumstances and the music is perfectly suited for that.
