Adaptation of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov’s story A Malefactor. An unemployed resident of one of the Ukrainian villages, Andrii Konotop, is detained on suspicion of stealing wires from electric poles. The case is simple and clear – Konotop was taken red-handed. Andrii is an ordinary villager and a rather simple man. He is being optimistic and does not understand the seriousness of the case.
Reviews
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
