life in russia sounds grim
pure kino, now watch Zvyagintsev filmography
rvssia... sovl...
>>220423520which one do i start with
>>220423459ASSPACK ?
>>220423657Loveless
>>220423459Enjoy your ban ziggers
Good movie.
>>220423459back when I was learning russian we watched this russian film called "nyelyubov" which means "lovelessness". It's about a divorcing couple who live in a tiny flat in moscow have their son (who they hate and whom the divorce is messing up) inexplicably disappear one morning whilst playing outside in the park. The next hour and a half of the movie is them looking for their son and being tortured by the stress and horror of the whole situation as well as their relationship collapsing further along the way. In the end they never find him, no hint is given as to what happens to him. Soulcrushing watch.Typical russian art.
>>220425166The ending is a cute precursor to 22's special military operation
>>220425210I've been doing some reading up on it just now and it's actually an incredibly symbolic film, I didn't realise this when I watched it as I was 14 but it's basically meant to be a holistic indictment of modern russian society and culture as a whole for being soulless and degenerate. based
>>220425166>they never find him wut? don't they identify their cadaver? I think the mom says it's not him but she's just coping no? Or do I just have poor media literacy?I do remember though that I almost blew up my home trying to make a brownie in the microwave there was smoke everywhere and my parents when in another country. I had to stop the movie and open every window, it smelled like cancer I probably got a gigadose of microplastics and went retarded on that evening so I guess it explains it if I missunderstood the movie
i talk to a girl who lives in st. petersburg often, her life seems fairly firsty other than anxieties about politics and safety
russian mindset is all about misery but hoping at the end of the day it'l all be okay. it reflects their long harsh winters and a bit of relief during summer.
>>220425297>I didn't realise this when I watched it as I was 14same. The last shot is the mom running in a treadmill with a russian adidas uniform. Rossia is cursed forever...>>220426031it's by design, my russian friends say that life in major cities is basically unaffected by the war. Not good if that changes
>>220426031not gonna last
>>220426031Petersburg is alright, almost as good as Moscow in terms of quality of life. Those two cities actually do offer fairly good standards of public communication and housing, as well as safety if you haven't crossed the wrong people.Rest of the country though... Oh boy.
>>220427222petersburg is the only european city in russia. moscow is full of churkas and caucasians.
>>220423459watch Dust/Пыль/Pyl
>>220423459read the Gulag Archipelago
>>220427387>read deboonked propaganda
>>220427387it's 1800 pages niggajust read Ivan Denisovich if you actually value your time.
>>220423459Some of the places I’ve seen look like Paradise compared to some of the shitholes around in America. I’d say it’s generally similar at least.
>>220427637you know if you compare a Memphis ghetto to a resort in Kerala then India would seem "better than America" too?
>>220427832There’s a lot more ghettos and shitholes around than just Memphis, and they weren’t resorts I was talking about. Boomers, Jews, and Troons just have a hate boner for Russia since they fucked up the Jew experiment in Ukraine.
>>220427637
>>220423459Everywhere in europe sounds depressing
>>220427928Wow, nice meme.
>>220427921so trve BRICS zister
>>220427963...wutYou never heard of forests, castles, fjords and towns?
>>220428026Nice dead daughter, Dugin.Hope it was worth allying with Africa for.
>>220428026>look at this twitter postWay to prove you’re a subhuman retard.
>>220428062They're already spiritually African anyway
>>220423459That's a good movie, but I don't recall that destruction happening in the movie.
>>220428416it doesn't
>>220427487Just read Shalamov if you want to read about gulags. Solzhie is straight up reddit before reddit was invented, Shalamov keeps it more real and gritty.
>>220427222Country has seen worse.
>>220426031>girl
>>220425166It's based on a true story. Andrei Chikatilo took their kid and over 50 more before they executed him
>Watch "Leviathan">no hebrew sea monsters in the entire movie????
>>220423459yeh
>>220423459they're in a life or death struggle with the international ZOG, what do you expect?
Я хoчy зaнимaтcя pyccкий язык, нo пaдeжи oчeнь тpyдныe :(Чтo ecть тo ecть
>>220425166Nigga, did you even watch the movie? They definitely found him—there’s a whole scene where they identify the body at the morgue.Also Bykov is shit director and writer, watch Germanika if you want gritty socrealism russian kino.
>>220429398>>220429398Grim
>>220431370>they found the body at the morgueAnd that's better than never finding him?
>>220423459Bykov is a capeshit slop of Russian depression-core scene and a poor knock-off of Balabanov.>>220423520Wrong, Zvyagintsev is a sanitized film festival flick maker.Slow-burn, bone-chilling A24-tier guano. Today, even barely 25 yo film school grads old directing Russian streaming miniseries mog him.
>>220423459What about all the beautiful Slavic women I see online?
I looked around streetview and couldn't find anywhere in russia that actually looks like the decrepit shithole we've been told it all is. I'm thinking it's a meme
>>220423459Don't you have a war to die in?
>>220429398western values btw
>>220431584The actual fuck, man. Try any small city and you will see much worse things than ITT. I am from the big city and even there on the outskirts you will have all sorts of apocalypse scenery with all raping, robing and satanic rituals you can expect from such setting. "We are not living, we surviving". My mom told me that, my teacher told me that, my first girlfriend told me that. And many more people. Why do you think people so eager to throw their life away zergrushing neighbours? Because they was gradually reduced to the animals by the real dystopian corrupt state, not your "oh my god, MAYBE some of them fucked children" sweet innocent guys. These guys fucking children 24/7, they fucking everyone 24/7 and they have a funny private army to do the fucking for them if someone is disobeying."Not the decripit shithole" my ass. It is 100% this and much more. I hope you do not consume rustate propaganda like RT because even here it is considered the slop for the stupidest retards.Of fucking course it is not all grim and gray and bad like in these movies ITT, but in most places and most of the time life in russia IS grimer and grayer and more soulsucking than these movies.
>>220432011post an exampleI am looking for actual genuine 'white ghettos'. looked all over america, europe (lol), even ukraine. not seeing it
>>220431882Are you okay, Alenka? Did you do too much krokodil with mom again?
>>220432245tired unfunny post format and you misunderstood his post which was mocking russia
>>220423459>>220427387Everyone ITT needs to read pic related to understand russian society and culture throughout history.
>>220432257Format? put down that pipe, for fuck's sake.
>>220427222Petersburg was beautiful 20y ago but ruskies literally cannot understand concept of restructing infrastructure. Visited there few years before war and everything was about to fall apart.
>>220423657>>220424911Why not with Leviathan?
>>220432039https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUjNIooz33k
>>220432295This is obviously untrue with the slightest bit of local knowledge.
Last year there was an anon that kept creating these threads about Russian movies. Thanks to him I watched BRAT and I loved it. I would like to watch more kinos about suffering in Russia
kino country
>>220432470>>220433381Two day special operation? Germany is going to declare war on ruzzia shortly, vatnik scum. Enjoy.
>>220423459>slavslopgrow up
the meltdown that people have whenever russia is mentioned is hilarious to me. what causes someone this kind of derangement?
>>220433609Kikes are butthurt Russia banned LGTVs, don't worry about it4chan is 80% JIDF bots
Is it true Putin now lives in a bunker because he's afraid of his own men betraying him?
>>220433709He's got body doubles like fidel castro
>>220433709Not worth the trouble. They are waiting for him to die on his own.
>>220431370what are your top3 recommendations?
>>220427963I look like this and I have this opinion.
>>220428046this is america's castles please understand
>>220431370>>220426003nah when they go to the body in the morgue it's left unclear whether the dead body is their son's, and both of them deny that it's their son to the cops. That said I haven't watched it in a while so I can't remember whether the movie implies they were lying.
>>220423459you do know that movies are fake, right? Ian McKellen isn't a wizard in real life. Sean Bean didn't die dozens of times etc
Any of you guys seen this?
If you want some of that russian grimcore, I suggest you "How Vitka Chesnok Drove Lyokha Shtyr to the House for Disabled". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_Vitka_Chesnok_Drove_Lyokha_Shtyr_to_the_House_for_DisabledWatched it recently and really enjoyed this movie.But the real untapped source of that grit, I'd say, are the TV series about cops from late 90s-early 00s like these:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streets_of_Broken_Lightshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadly_Force_(TV_series)
>>220434941>russian is perplexed and angered at road stops featuring shops and people relaxing instead of run-down commieblocks filled with krokodil addictslmao
>>220434941
>>220433907SHKOLA tv series for essential 2000s russian school core kinoKRATKIY KURS SCHASTLIVOY ZHIZNI for 2000s lower middle class women interacting with 2000s Moscow environment Dont watch her late works.
Eastern Europe is full of kino for anyone actually interested
>>220423459If your moderately wealthy or normal it’s not that grim it’s like anywhere else the media just sells certain narratives all the time like how Hollywood could only make films with black stories about slavery or how Russians are always the bad spy villains in every movie. There are narratives that must be maintained! - Hollywood
>>220428026That's a sick burn, but not as sick as how his daughter burned to death.Dead zigger best zigger.
>>220425166Why are they such miserable fucks? Is it the weather?
>>220426031St Petersburg and Moscow are the only two cities in that country that has almost livable standards. The rest is a mess
>>220436735NAFO troons are so cringe I have to wonder whether they're on chinese or russian payroll
>>220435324Yes, very good and suspenful
There's something about this woman I found very enticingDunno what it is
>>220427963Lived in both burger suburbs and commieblock apartments. Eurochud is 100% right. Suburbs are satanic levels of soullessness.At least in commieblocks you can walk 15 minutes and get to the main city. That's true freedom.
>>220436826>people who (rightfully) hate russia are paid by russia to do soGo choke on a drone ivan
>>220423459>AIPAC the fooloy vey
>>220436857>There's something about this woman I found very enticingBecause she looks like a strict teacher who would whip you and slap you.
Pic is a beautiful movie, esp visually. If you want classic russian depressioncore watch Cargo 200
>>220432039Whatabooot Magnitogorsk? One of the wealthiest cities in Russia where everyone dies before 50 because of pollution and vodka.Binland, one twentieth of Russia, has donated to different projects (sanitation, streetkids, etc.) in Russia and 99% of money is just scammed.
>>220425210Hoe much do you guys get paid to post this shit. No one cares about your little war you brought on yourselves. Not even your politicians who are hoarding all the US and EU money flowing in.
>>220437268Maybe watch the movie so that you're informed before you lash out like a sperg being triggered by a word
>>220423459Stop watching grimslop, retard.>>220425166>>220426034>>220436772It's "you" problem, not Russia. That's how you were taught to perceive it and it's art for generations.Not even once I heard you mention soviet classic comedies like Operation Y or Mimino. Same goes for classic Russian comedies, like Demobbed or Peculiarities of the National Hunt.>>220436952>Cargo 200Dude, that's Steven Seagal kind of bullshit. Your pic is great though. Loads of romantic period movies were produced in USSR and Russia. Hell, there was this huge soapy TV show in similar setting, popular both in Russia and Ukraine back in the day – Poor Nastya. Also nothing of the sort gets mention in here.Fucking grimchuds.
can you retards please stick to talking about kinos? no one in the west gives a fuck about you retards killing each other outside of reddit trannies. now this isn't exactly on topic, but it is from a former soviet state, so I'm going to count it. has anyone seen Beshkempir? I really enjoyed it and it's free on youtube
>>220436711bydlo copewhat % of the Russian society are moderately wealth?>>220436671ty
>>220432011Ah, the typical "woe is mine" loser. Parading his cross with that trademark Russian edginess. You don't even understand what "apocalypse scenery" is. This >>220432389 is not "satanic rituals", just poor outskirts or a dying industrial area.Even though Russia is not in top fifty best places to live, it's still better than a hundred of countries at the bottom of that same list. Just because Russia can't compete with West, doesn't mean that your living conditions aren't better compared to the MOST people on the planet. How many times were you robbed? How many days did you spend on the streets? Fucking clown. I'm more than sure you never visited much outside of your shithole. You'd get chewed alive in most of Asia, South America, and I won't even mention Africa.>>220436813Again, you have no idea what "almost livable standards" is. >>220437177>One of the wealthiest cities in Russia Absolutely not, you retarded nigger.>everyone dies before 50 because of pollution and vodkaNot true even if we're citing Western sources. You're still baiting with 25 y. o. memes.It is a polluted city, yes, because it's a center of heavy metallurgy. But compared to the most huge industrial cities on the Planet it's quite livable. Just because it can't stack up to Finland, doesn't mean its Hell on Earth.>>220437604Saaar he ment relative to Russia benchod
>>220437367>Loads of romantic period movies were produced in USSR and Russia.The literary adaptations were usually excellent. The Chekhov ones are probably my favorites, but one has to mention Bondarchuks War and Peace, the perfectly pulled-off epic scale is almost unbelievable for the time.
>>220423459I gave it a go and gave up. Corruption and misery in manga/adaptations have more life than this.
>>220437740when you surroundings are shit and have only worsened since 1989, do you really consider the fact that people in India or Nigeria live worse? Oh tough guy, how many African slums have you ploughed through? dolb>compared to the most huge industrial cities on the Planetdon't you feel discomfort for excusing the dysfunctional system you live in?
>>220428026>no arguments to support their existenceSo he'll be an heroing soon then?

>>220437367shut the fuck up vatnik, your country is a stain on humanity
Is there anything more gay and lame than nation based banter?>durrr [generic name from country[ ur country SUCKS lololol!!!! go [some bad stereotype from that country]!!!You sound like fucking 12 year olds
>>220437177>MagnitogorskOk I looked. That sort of looks like somewhere in latin America. Shitty and poor but it's still not american niggerghetto level. >>220432389That looks shitty but I'd like to see the street view, how do I know it's not from 1999 or something? where is this?
>>220438180nah it's great, especially when it comes to subhuman vatniks
>>220423459kino of the highest order
>>220438180It's not about a nation. It's about a large group of people with weapons of mass destruction that are willing, but not able (yet) to make your life as miserable as theirs. It's a global threat that must be dealt with, and the least you can do is to not make your enemies feel welcome and equal to you.
>>220438527You're a global threat, kike. As clearly evidenced in the last 2 months.
>>220427387Read real book instead
>>220438359It's really unfunny and has totally shit up an otherwise interesting thread. It's always the same stupid repetitive shit.>>220438527seriously shut up no one cares about your gay faggot crusade, go away
>>220433709It's true yeah. I heard it from the ghost of kyiv.
Reading this thread just is a reminder whoever shills for the Jews is always the bad guy
>>220435195I watched it 5 years ago and I remember>uncover body>mom cries>denies it him>they mention how disfigured the cadaver is>dad is serious the whole time and hugs momI don't know if he outright says it but unless you are retarded you understand it's their son
>>220438572You're right that I don't want to waste this thread arguing (which all jokes aside is on a legitimately interesting topic, one thing I'll concede to the russians is their films are underrated or at least were prior to 2022). That said you're either hopelessly naive or a disingenuous bastard if you seriously think people hating on russia is "gay faggot crusade" or "country banter". People hate russia because it is, as I said, a stain on humanity which is currently actively trying to invade my continent.
>>220438651who is shilling for the jews in this instance anon?>>220438683I'll take your word for it, it's been nearly eight years since I saw it. It would certainly make sense given one of the themes of the film seems to be that the parents are such horrible people that their own son disappearing/dying effectively gets buried under their new lives.
>>220438711how is being replaced with browns better than being conquered by russia? way I see it those are your two options right now
>>220438903>way I see it those are your two options right nowjust because you're so retarded that you think that way doesn't mean I have to be. Not to mention a good chunk of our immigration problem partially stems from russian cold war active measures and their consequences + modern active measures to fuck with europe. And that's without even getting started on the fact russia wants to replace europe with brownoids themselves, the country itself is literally a horde of eurasian mystery meat.
>>220439000you'r getting flooded with migrants because america. that's it. you became an american vassal and that was part of the deal. as a russian vassal, much less likely. you will not survive another century under america's thumb. your choice
>>220438005>when you surroundings are shit and have only worsened since 1989No, you retarded nigger. I was in fucking Vorkuta, which steadily declines population-wise (people migrate outside of that arctic shithole where you physically can't have TREES) and it still saw MAJOR improvements since NINETIES. >do you really consider the fact that people in India or Nigeria live worse?YES, you HUMONGOUS IMBECILE! It's not just "worse", the difference is night and day. Norilsk, the supposedly "most depressed city on the planet" has multiple malls, theaters, cinemas. They even build a park in such shitty climate! Almost every living block, however delipidated, has access to kindergarten, schools, hospitals, pharmacies and groceries. Majority of countries on the Planet could never achieve that. Hell, it has a couple of universities, even.>how many African slums have you ploughed throughAlgeria, Ethiopia, Egypt (it's in Africa, you clueless swine), South Africa (The Country). Rest is second hand experience of my colleagues.>don't you feel discomfort for excusing the dysfunctional system you live inNo, you fundamentally misunderstand me. I loathe that Russia wastes its potential as a civilization. But it's far from the "dysfunctional system". If it was so, war in Ukraine would've already balkanized this country.
>>220439071who the fuck said I was choosing america? I already know all this. I hate the americans too, at least their government, but russia is actively invading my continent which puts them at the top of my list of problems right now alongside immigration. I don't have to choose between russia or the US, at least not long term. I hate you fuckers who act like everything is just binary choices in a vaccuum and everyone must fall into one of two neat "good" and "bad" camps you agree or disagree with entirely.
>>220438174Fuck off, you dumb brainwashed illiterate nigger. People like you are just tides that will be washed away in a blink of eye. An agent, nothing more.
>>220427387Commercialised shit from a shill who tried to milk the tragedy of Stalin's purges.>>220432273Same retardation.>>220428522This guy gets it.
>>220438527Nigger, do you even grasp the intricacies of this board? Your post looks formalised as fuck, borderline AI generated.
>>220439121Name your country.
>>220438903>conquered by russia?At the current rate you'll arrive at the first actual first world country in about 50 years.And by your rate of attrition, at that point it will be the west shoving mystery meat cannon fodder down your throats en masse.Good luck when your doctrine that favors quantity over quality has no reserves left.
>>220439401fuck off jeet
>>220439000what is your country?>>220439071everything is because of amerika, the vatnik mind cannot comprehend agency>>220439115tell me more about the great civilization and the advantages of it - so much so that literally every neighbouring country besides BLR and NK hate you. 3rd Rome!!! based orthodox civilization, boh snami!>Algeria, Ethiopia, Egypt (it's in Africa, you clueless swine), South Africa (The Country).wow, you booked a charter flight and got wasted in the hotel with other biomass
>>220436626awful
>>220439838You are a retarded nigger that tries to peg everything around him into a pathetic narrative that suits his brainwashed mindset. The only thing you're capable of is spouting memes. It's ironic that you bark about agency.
>>220440164Pidorashkas and pidorashka enablers are the last people in this world to talk about brainwashing.
>>220439267>Same retardation.It's quite good actually. Lots of insight into russian psyche and russian folklore with sources in russian.
>>220431531here's comes the chud who's mad at everything
>>220440164>The only thing you're capable of is spouting memesNah, he's also capable of donating small sums of money to help R*ssians get droned more effectively.
>>220423459Is there even something similar from other countries? I guess 80s UK Thatcher era flicks come close, but they always had at least a tiny bit of hope in them
>>220442741I think Z and maybe some of the costa gavras flicks around that time?If I remember correctly the prosecutor in Z actually convicts despite being conservative but nothing happens and corruption continues in the end credits. Or maybe I'm missremembering. But they aren't completely hopeless either
