“Alexey Balabanov. Afterword ... "

Director: Konstantin Smilga (Kino1tv)

The film was made on the basis of a big conversation, shot by Nanogre 2011, a year and a half before the death of the director. The film crew came to him to take an interview for the documentary “Sergey Bodrov. Where are you, brother? " After shooting, Balabanov invited the interviewers to his home, sat on his favorite sofa and showed a film, after which a confidential conversation took place.

Smilga specializes in films about famous people: Julian Semenov, Peter Mamonov, Leonide Yarmolnik, Sergey Vegov. But the main nerve of this picture is Balabanov itself, its direct speech. As always, unhealthy, honest and uncomfortable.
