The developing storyline of this Russian movie seemed to be promising; but unfortunately the character development and script fell short of expectation. More like a Play than movie in some ways. In fairness, the translation may have limited understanding by a non Russian speaking audience, of the complexity in dialogue between the Russian actors. The non Russian words perhaps not conveying underlying meaning of the Russian spoken script. Characters had little depth and the sex scenes did not seem all that sensual, almost boring to watch: But perhaps that was a point being made by the Director. The theme of marital boredom, suspicions and unanticipated consequences of infidelity is a simple one for TV dramas, which this could easily have been placed as. The Director surely intended to add some surprise & cause for audience reflection in creating the drama as a movie. Which mercifully ended after about one hour and twenty minutes. Disappointment as the viewer coming from a hope to have seen more depth and complexity.
