Nice effects though.

brilliant actors, brilliant editing

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

a delicate problem who represents essential question for everybody. inspired script. good director. and superb performance of actors. it can be a page of Tchekov or only a sweet-bitter movie. in fact, it is only a remember about virtues of Russian cinema and special speech about an obscure part from us.for many viewers, it can be a surprise. or a parable. or just fairy tale. but it is a common story about a man and a slice, a large slice of his life. comedy and drama, nice dialogs and precise science of tension, crumbs of gray, white and spring colors, wise and honest, charming and lucid, it is a beautiful film. beautiful and little more.

The last film of Andrei Krasko became his best. After numerous supporting roles and cameos Krasko got his first and at the same time his last leading part. And acted it brilliantly. His Dr. Viktor Tyrsa, a man who never believed in life after death accidentally lapse into coma and joins the bunch of people, who like him are in a same state. They travel across some deserted land, headed by a man, calling himself instructor. They have no goal. They just go and wait for their turn to go back to life, or die. During this trip Dr. Tyrsa has to change all his beliefs and take a new look at life and death. No need to speak about performance of Krasko. All his roles, even shortest cameos, are memorable and lively. But only in this picture, when he got the majority of screen time, we can enjoy his talent at it's maximum. Supporting cast also worth kind words and complements Krasko perfectly. Overall - very good movie, brilliant Krasko and 9 out of 10.
