He is a seasoned adventurer and a very professional center, leaving the dead bodies behind him one by one and is often called to use a pistol as an alternative in the duel at dawn. That is how he meets Yakovlev, a retired officer who is skilled and capable of fencing for his comfort and his life. He lives in a comfortable atmosphere because of those games that bring him money without fatigue or exhaustion because he is a veteran and worthy of the trumpet.
A tiresome but meticulously detailed and visually sumptuous Russian melodrama about romance and intrigue amid the nobility in 19th century St. Petersburg.
Writer-director Mizgirev has a sharpshooter's cold pair of eyes. His lens adds an antiseptic quality to the many deaths... It's Fyodorov's performance that communicates the emotional burden of killing.
Mizgirev's script is an indigestible, soap-operatic mess of backstories, clichés, and the kind of ambiguous mystic overtones that have become an unbreakable addiction for Russian film.
The look of the movie is still the most appealing thing about it. Whether you watch a film on a giant screen or an iPhone, the format doesn't untangle messy plot threads.
