"Russkiy krest" is a film that you should see. This is an adaptation of the poem of the same name by the famous poet Nikolai Melnikov, and I can frankly say that this work is worthy of attention, which has long been asking for the big screens. The film itself turned out to be inspiring, kind and instructive.
The plot unfolds in a small village where Ivan Rostock lives. Once he had a family, but he destroyed his happiness with his own hands, and now virtually no one needs him, except perhaps the old man, who, as best he can, is trying to guide the hero on the path of truth. But only a meeting with an angel changes Ivan and gives him a guiding light of life.
Having volunteered to restore the local church on his own, Ivan gets to work, although he understands that this is not that easy. But after all, the temple is a symbol of holiness and purity, and it is he who should give hope to people around. Ehere is no doubt that Ivan will try to do everything and even more to fulfill the promise.
This is one of the few films that is actually fun to watch. The characters of people, their motivation and the conclusions they draw from the whole story are important here. In particular, I want to praise Mikhail Porechenkov, he played very well. Ivan Rostock is his best role in a long time.
In my opinion, this movie is definitely worth watching. The authors did a decent job and pleased us with a story that gives exceptional emotions and is able to surprise in a pleasant way.
