A film by OLEG FLYANGOLTS

A visually impressive film starring Fedor Bondarchuk and Alexander Bashirov, "Indifference" presents Moscow through the lens of the New Wave, combining the romance of the 60's, the recklessness of the 80's and the wisdom of the 00's. Originally filmed in 1989, "Indifference" was created as a declaration of love to Italian cinema, architecture, Moscow and a beautiful girl. After a twenty year hiatus, director Oleg Flyangolts was able to return to the film using new ideas and new technology to improve the footage captured, and at the same time managing to preserve a youthful atmosphere and mood. Subtle, intelligent and beautifully made piece of art.

The second feature by Vladimir Kott, Gromozeka looks and feels like an old Soviet film, but the Moscow it captures is completely contemporary and filmed in a style that evokes American masterpieces such as "Shortcuts" (Robert Altman) or "Magnolia" (Paul Thomas Anderson). A very amusing character drama laced with black humor and full of surprises.
