CGiii Comment
Despite a couple of clumsy edits...all can be forgiven because of the colour palette!
This is a stunningly horrific film...homoeroticism coupled with internalised homophobia...it's a queasy mix indeed.
Directorially speaking, Seva Galkin show rather than tells...that's called damn fine direction. And, using Lascia ch'io pianga was a masterstroke!
As unpleasant as it gets...astonishing filmmaking.

The(ir) Blurb...
In Moscow, two skinheads kill homosexual men while being in a sexual relationship with one another. Based on real events, the film inquires about masculinity, identity, and a sense of belonging in contemporary Russia.
