- Quotes
Leo Demidov: If you are so innocent, why do you run? Hmm?
Anatoly Tarasovich Brodsky: That's a very good question. I run because you were following me. When you are followed, you are arrested. And when you are arrested, you are already guilty. So you tell me, why did I run?
Featured review
The fair portrait of last years of Stalin reign can be the basic virtue of this very special film.
It is special for acting and for inspired storytelling.
In same measure, for atmosphere and for the levels of story.
For great work of Tom Hardy and for the inspired end.
For moral kicks to real punches, for unrealism of a fist of scenes, well used in context of story, for the image of fragility of emotions, for the sketches of fear and cruelty, for the back ground and for the roots of evil. Short, just special.
