Break Loose

First of all, it seems like some scenes were deleted or the main storyline was rewritten at the last minute. Second, I've watched many "depressed and wild" post-Soviet movies, but at least in Balabanov's work, the characters have an arc. In this film, however, the main character's arc essentially says: "Look at us, we live like orcs, we stay like orcs, and we die like orcs. No changes." This approach seems absolutely inhuman. I understand that this movie is about the true 'ruzzian' experience, but even in such a depressed environment, people don't react as they do in this film. The characters' actions are completely illogical, not to mention the portrayal of "true love" between a rapist and a depressed woman. I hope the fans of this "true boyzz" movie, with its romanticism of such misery, end up the same way as the characters.
