When i started watch this movie i had understood - that film unusual, but not interested and even boring. But last 20 minutes was strong and significant. Sure, that film incomparable with Amadey or Larry Flint: quality and screenplay worse, scale of events insignificant, but final sense in any case very serious. Main point of film - human being is brutal, dirty, miserable... Scene with owner of burnt house (old, pitiful man) great. Exactly from this scene till end film became dramatic effect and intrigue. As for me - it very Slavic film. And it good film. When you be going to watch this film - Hold on oneself first 50 min and watch it till end: film worth it.
