★★★★☆Yusup Razykov's Shame (Styd, 2013) continues the Uzbekistani director's sociopolitical critique of Russian society with a maritime tragedy that echoes the contentious Kursk submarine catastrophe, which resulted in the deaths of 118 sailors after Russian authorities purportedly refused Western aid. Within the Arctic Circle in a frozen coastal concave of the Kola Peninsula we observe Lena (Maria Semenova) as she attempts to avoid the mundane rituals of the military outpost town. Recently married to an admiral, she finds herself abandoned with the rest of the crew's wives as they await their menfolk's return.
