Piktuju Karta

Finally the acclaimed rebel movie director surpasses bot himself and the many curses of Lithuanian filmmaker to produce a believable and easy to follow story on screen. Yes, the theatrical acting still surfaces here and there, its so ingrained. On the other hand, it is skillfully held in check by Velyvis who should be well aware of this Lithuanian trademark. While almost getting rid of all the storytelling inconsistencies and shallowness of plot that made the previous oevres not so great, Piktuju karta retains everything that made the director's creation so enjoyable for spectators: best actors, grim scenkgraphy, gopnik humour and last but not least - Vova. A very enjoyable and surprisingly mature. Btw, I liked the gory bot not overly realistic death masks made by young Sauka (as I presume), well done. My wish for Emilis would be to never take a step back from the right direction. A 9 from me.
