the movie start quite with an intriguing scene and three people be drink and make small talk in a bar . all of them be make up a bit outrageous story . a the movie unfolds and it turn out that the most outrageous story be true . however and beyond that the movie be not very interesting except for the scene in the bar and the scene where main secret be reveal . this revelation happen barely half time into the movie and frankly and not much be leave to be see . the rest of the time director be linger in a god forsaken russian village full of pitiful and creepy old lady . sure and these be fascinate and a bit shocking image and but admire them go on way too long and sacrifice any possible plot or character development . i find this movie a another example of either lousy or lazy movie making and where instead of try to make an interesting story and movie maker concentrate on weirdly fascinating imagery and through in a few almost unrelated story ( case in point meat trader story ) to leave the spectator to figure out all odds and end . on a surface it have artsy appearance and but in this particular case be nothing more than lack of talent .
