2022: My favorite Russian movies
No politics. Only the art of cinema. Russian cinema was, is and will be. A drop wears away a stone. Everything will be fine. I would also like to note that the 2 best Russian films of 2021 - "Captain Volkogonov Escaped" and "Nuuccha" have not been seen by the Russian audience. The reason is the stupidity of government officials who saw a threat to national "patriotism." The wonderful and largest festival of Russian auteur cinema "Kinotavr" in Sochi is blocked.
A year earlier, the unique film award of Russian film critics "White Elephant" was liquidated. It is unfortunate that the times of total censorship are returning. Some films from the 2022 list also have a chance not to reach Russian cinemas in the near future. Peace to the whole world.
One interesting fact about the best Russian films of 2022: 3 films out of 10 are films from Yakut studios! A real success of Yakut cinema. It is interesting that in the past few years, at the forefront of Russian cinema were films from another periphery of Russia - from Nalchik, the director's workshop of Aleksandr Sokurov.
The most interesting director of Russian cinema of the last 10 years and a huge talent - Aleksey Fedorchenko - is also a person not from Moscow, from the Urals. His magical films “Celestial Wives of the Meadow Mari” (2012) and “Angels of Revolution” (2014) will definitely be included in the golden fund of Russian cinema. The fate of Fedorchenko's last masterpiece - "Big Snakes of Ulli-Kale", as well as Sokurov's new film "Fairytale" is very alarming: will Russian people be able to watch these films in the cinema?Best Thriller - "Ayta", Best Crime - "A tale for old people", Best Musical - "Incident in the country of Multi-Pulti".
