Possibly the strangest prison movie ever. It's not about the Gulag, it's not about human rights, it's not even about crime. It’s more than that. This is a philosophical film about the mystery of a man. About the inseparable connection between the sinners and the righteous: the murderer, the former prosecutor Vyacheslav Sharaevsky, and his intercessor, the rector of the church of Cosmas and Damian in Moscow, father Alexandr Borisov.
Reviews
Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Boring
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
