Like Fritz Lang, David Fincher or Bong Joon Ho before him, talented debut filmmaker Lado Kvataniya uses the concept of police detective vs serial killer for an excitingly stylised, macabre and haunting narrative, that ultimately revolves around the identity of an era: in this case, the late 1980s Soviet Union. With Glasnost and the end of communist rule, the West also learned of the (unsurprising) fact that there were serial killers in Russia too – the most notorious case probably that of Andrei Chikatilo, nicknamed the Rostov Ripper, or the Russian Hannibal Lecter. Based on these and many other sources, Kvataniya and screenwriter Olga Gorodetskaya constructed an immersive psychological puzzle, jumping back and forth in time, to reveal ever new-possible motives for the actions of all the protagonists. It all starts in 1990, when Detective Issa Davydov is celebrating his promotion and receives a call, reporting a crime that looks precisely like the ones of the serial killer that he famously captured some years before ...
俄版的沉默的羔羊，削弱了女性的生存困境被围猎的力度和将女主替换为男主有关，将时间选定在1986，1988，1991的苏俄转换时期，增加了政治惊悚的元素与隐喻，结局又做了大的翻转。整体观感还可以，就是诉求表达过多，结果显得哪个都不突出，多少有些凌乱。

《死刑》《杀人回忆》《沉默的羔羊》有精神疾患(儿时的阴影）的男主为了覆盖自己罪行(过失）为了自己的荣誉，背叛了自己。替罪羊双胞胎。当初的部下好兄弟，查出了真相。和自己绑在了一起。 谜底过早的暴露与视角的混乱有点儿遗憾

用生命与苏俄的灰暗历史同归于尽，拍的着实有点水准，虽然我总觉得设大局的动机不太充足，不妨碍它用曲折离奇的故事吸引我，男性群戏值得表扬，丹尼尔·斯皮瓦科夫斯基的模仿犯演的入木三分。可惜了，俄罗斯的正义多存在于电影中，真正正直的、勇敢的、智慧的、善良的、有牺牲精神的俄罗斯人要么逃离故国要么被捕下狱，其他的俄人？呵，忙着在海外散尽德行，忙着在俄国内为普特勒欢呼
