FROM HELL

Rating: 7/10 (24 November 2019)

First of all, it is worth mentioning the skillfully written original source in the form of a graphic novel, which served as the basis for the drama of the film in question. The creators of the picture should thank all the persons involved in the writing of the graphic novel, depicting an unusually charming and horrible story of brutal murders, further complicated investigations and secret semi-mystical conspiracies. All this, not without changes, and with varying success, was transferred to the screen, people, as can be assumed after watching the film, interested not only in the practical success of their work, but also in the artistic value of their work.
All the gestures in the film, as if the gestures of heroes or gestures expressed by filmmakers in the methods of visualization of the story, are extremely conditional, but they are filled with magnificent elegance of visual media, the stylistic solution of which brightly reflects the genre of the picture and the gloomy tone of the history as a whole.
Nevertheless, not all the scenes and dialogues in the film are able to retain the necessary attention, because of the obvious, purely informational nature of such moments, which represent a form of necessary evil, in the form of mandatory points for the further development of the dramaturgical component of the unfolding events, in this sad history, without which the already fragile integrity of the line of the plot, runs the risk of inevitably falling apart.
Separately, I would like to note the inspiring charisma of the Sergeant, whose interaction with the main character, performed in a restrained ironic manner, deservedly draws attention to himself, but, importantly, does not pull him over, but only complements the image of the latter and, in all senses, helps him.
