Katia Ismaïlova

Even its 90s and not even american one but still its good watchable quality . story is also bit good , even performance of lead actors are somehow good.

there are some places has some weird and stupid awkward acting but its ok for 90 era.

the only thing its bad about the movie its ending . a married wife is in love with someone else , and even after everything she did for lover, she got betryal , so instead of punishing her lover , she punished someone else in the end. thats so bad .

-------------spoiler -------------------- she shuda drove with lover off the bridge.

it's funny to see that this post soviet film looks like an European production, and more precisely close to a french movie: the graphic (and useless) nude scene, the long silent scene with characters thinking over, the maid condition and the master country house, cheating, murders and police investigation... In a way, with this kind of movie, if you have watched one then you have watched all of them. Except than here, the Russian countryside looks nothing like the french one and for sure, this new actress for me is really exceptional: faraway of faked, brand, make-up, bragging actresses, Ingeborga has a personal humility and quiet personality that makes her really engaging and leaves us with among the best portrayal of a doomed lover ever! Not bad for this little movie!
