Trailer for "4" (aka "Chetyre")

2006-Apr-5 by Laughcalvin

This looks and sounds like a film you want to catch on DVD:

"Two men and a woman meet in a Moscow bar and weave extravagant lies about their lives and professions, setting in motion a ruthless, relentless three-lane journey into the dark, secret corners of modern Russia. Beginning with a jarring, dog-endangering prologue, this collaboration between controversial novelist/playwright Vladimir Sorokin and young Russian filmmaker Ilya Khrzhanovsky comes on like a film possessed, constantly morphing into surreal shapes as it careers through its different characters, styles and themes. Mass conformity, biological cloning and genetic manipulation represent the challenges to individual identity here, pushing humanity into the margins and distorting the world’s recognisable form. The resultant pile-up of nightmares — poetic, grotesque, perplexing — may seem random but Sorokin and Khrznavosky impose order on the disorder with their forceful formal authority; it’s quite clear that something is going on — that something is at stake — even if you don’t have a clue what it is.
