SPUTNIK RUSSIAN FILM FESTIVAL
БУМАЖНЫЙ СОЛДАТ (PAPER SOLDIER)
Walked out. Intellectuals philosophise and trainee astronauts are scared to go to the outer space.
АРИТМИЯ (ARRHYTHMIA)
Recommended. A paramedic does his best to save patients' lives as well as to rescue his marriage. The cases, alike his home situation, vary: from a hypochondriac, through a death, to dealing with a mum who's daughter first may die and then, if she lives, may be taken away from her for neglecting parental duties. A masterfully structured film that knows how to play your emotions. Tough questions are intertwined with light moments, like when instead of him sleeping in the kitchen his wife finds a strange man: "Who's that?!" "Igor from the trauma unit."
СЛИШКОМ СВОБОДНЫЙ ЧЕЛОВЕК (THE MAN WHO WAS TOO FREE)
Recommended. I finally learnt who Boris Nemtsov was and why he got killed. Yeltsin's favourite, the campaigner who elevated Putin to power, eventually got assassinated on his orders. Since Stalin and Beria no one so high up in the power ranks was killed. Till Nemtsov. The documentary, along the lines, proves Putin is a psychopath. Nemtsov was specifically told not to go to the theatre occupied by terrorists because... Putin was afraid support for him would increase further. And the hostages died because... harmless gas was sprayed in the theatre to put everyone to sleep so that the terrorists could be taken out. However, the president admitted later the authorities had failed to inform ambulance workers so... all those people had got killed while being rescued incorrectly.
