Big home of Shamanov family has everything - except love and understanding under the roof...

Reviews
Ruski_Kinoman

A family torn apart by internal strife, barely held together by the fair yet despotic aging father, but perhaps even more so, by the oh-so-commonplace Russian desperation stemming from lack of any choice in life.The family crisis culminates at the grandfather's 100th anniversary party, just as spetznaz are closing in on the house seeking to finish off the eldest son - a mafia boss who happened to have had shady dealings in the past with a man recently promoted to a top position.In the face of certain death, there is forgiveness, recklessness, heroism, but the sad truth is that it took a rain of bullets to finally unite the family for a few moments while they reach for to each other for that last embrace...A very realistic movie, a very Russian one, with a little twist in the end that shreds the last remaining hope of a happier end.

great movieSomething like "Kalina Krasnaya" Basil Shukshin. Exact same frustration, guilt, too.Sergei Garmash plays excellently. It makes you want to shout, "I believe!"A heavy film, constant conflicts. But when disaster strikes, gangsters, on the trail Garmash, the family as a rallying and becomes one. Explosion Box with TNT in the hands of his grandfather Garmash, it is the very "Russian self-sacrifice."The film clearly shows the conflicts that frequently occur in everyday life of today's Russia.It is not that going conflicts in the family, it's some sort of conflict in Russia itself.I put the highest score - 10!
