Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Evgeny Shelyakin never made another feature after this — B/W remains his gloriously odd one-shot legacy.
The film blends post-Soviet criminal folklore ('vor v zakone' culture) with supernatural comedy in a way that makes zero sense and perfect sense simultaneously.
