exorcism

Rating: Null/10 (28 February 2018)

For a viewer from East, the theme, the idea to make a comedy about Stalin death is more than bizarre. it is a form of cruelty. and, maybe, in Russia, the simple idea about this way to present Stalin end and his succesors represents, for many, a blasphemy. this is motif for who, not the phsycal resemblance ( who is far to be the good point of film), not the performances or the bitter humor are significant for me, the historical accuracy ( respected in large lines ) but its status of kick to study the period. it is not exactly a comedy but a form of exorcism. against the past and its shadows in present. a film about struggle for power. ridiculous, off course, if it was not a page of history. because the film can only suggest tterrible events, destroyng miths and statues and fears. cleaning memories. and that does it not exactly a historical film, a simple comedy or parody. but support for reflection. about contemporary East.
