The Ugly Swans (English subtitles). Part 1/10.

The Ugly Swans is a 2006 Russian science fiction film directed by Konstantin Lopushansky, based on the novel of the same name by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. The film is often compared to Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker, also adapted from a Strugatsky book.
Film buffs will no doubt be debating whether it's traces of Tarkovsky's "Stalker" or his "Solaris" that show up in "The Ugly Swans." The former comes through with its sense of a closed, strange community of "others" (the mysterious zona), the latter with its elegiac sense of a protagonist coming back into contact with a past life...
The film is probably all that and more. It's also aesthetically outstanding and emotionally moody in a way that's very hard to gauge. Eliciting no simple reaction, it nevertheless demands attention. Tarkovsky would have been proud.
