Frame from the series "Office"
“Outsors” does not disappoint in development (as often happens with the series).
Execution as a business is nothing personal. Punishment as a crime.
After the premiere show in the "Artistic" experts, experts argued about the genre of multi -part cinema. And he walks in the cold Kamchatka space between the tragedy and Trees, connecting the biblical motives with fantasy. And in the most intense moments, laughter includes. Like a light bulb in the dark. Like therapy from a nightmare of what is happening. Events occur at the edge of the world. And every hero of this multi -figure novel is a man on the edge. Land, own life. Terrible choice.
Kostya Volkov from the city of Kimra (Ivan Yankovsky) brings the “death servants” an offer that cannot be abandoned: to give the murders of suicide bombers to outsources to those who curse them. Allow for a lot of money a blood (in the literal sense of the word) revenge. Kostya is Chichikov and Raskolnikov in one body: not a trembling creature, the right has the right to the extreme, as it seems to him, fair, to whom to live, who is not. Buys dead souls of living people. Moreover, it covers this business with the death of justice. The question is who is dead souls here. It is curious how Ivan Yankovsky develops the story of Raskolnikov.
His Kostya turns into a manipulator, uses accomplices and their friends, like figures on a chessboard. He establishes his own rules of the game: for disobedience - punishment.
He seems to give each of the accomplices and their wives what they dreamed about: money, apartment, fur coat, wedding. He seems to bring a drop of justice to their bestial life. But connected by one blood cannot be happy. The authors do not follow the scheme, and each character here is multidimensional. Yes, the same Kostya Volkov has weakness-it sympathizes with the killer who helped to die with the help of a deadly “cocktail” hopelessly sick people. Each character is life and fate.
First of all, “Punish executors”: Eldar Kalimulin, Daniil Steklov, Dmitry Sumin, Leonid Telezhinsky (just discovery).
It seems that “outsors” is a male story. But each hero - from the team of the shooters, like an amyanus, has its own mirror side. A woman who protects or pushes into the abyss. Him and himself. The vivid and convincing work of Dasha Savelyeva (doctor infected with HIV), Mila Ershova (raped bride), Dasha Kotreleva (victim of a home Abueza). Karina Aleksandrova is good in the role of a local karman of a local roslice, which the prosecutor loves. And almost unrecognizable and as always fearless in immersion in the pool of someone else's life Karina Razumovskaya. Here she is just an unhappy aunt in a hat, which of the best motives, so that everything, like people, ruins her adult daughter and herself.
In this movie with Balaban brutal motifs, you can’t immediately get it out at all: who are the executioners and who - the victims.
And why are sentences not only by the state, but by society itself, they are not subject to appeal - they become a lifelong stigma.
The team is the director Dushan Gligorov and the operator Batyr Morgachev (“highway”, “crystal”) again at a height. Morgachev and Gligors convinced the producers to shoot a series in the format of the author’s cinema 4x3.
They come up with semantic spaces. They remove people in cramped apartments a little on top, as if locked in stuffy cells. Spaces with altered geometry, then excessively elongated, then with ceilings flying up. Deep personnel. Gloomy interiors. And in the windows of these “cells” there are dazzling mountains and hills, the amazing expanses of the Kamchatka region in all the stingy of northern splendor under the icy sun: the mortally beautiful and cold edge of the world. The personification of free airspace is outside the narrow and dark life of these people. The square of the prison yard surrounded by wire. Circle - the eye of the camera, in which the killers sentenced on the one hand and their killers on the other.

The image was decided not just conceptually, but gives history an additional fantastic dimension. Firstly, the lattice is the main artistic image. We look through the cage not only at criminals, but also at the warders. In Volkov’s apartment, even wallpaper is in a cage.
They decided to let the story along the border of reality and Sura: innumerable recognizable details of the era and absurdity, and trash, and very black (in the spirit of “cargo 200”) humor. From the series to the series there is an intonation to be reduced to a red -hot final. Dushan Gligorov admits that in this work they answered themselves to the most difficult questions. Including the right to punishment. And behind the scenes they sing violins and cello to the solemn tread of the Gendelev step. About what cinema? There will be many answers. But from the first: justice without love - the road to hell is paved. And yet. The inability to take responsibility for your life, for your actions deprives you of your own life, simply erases the dust, turns into a controlled faceless one ready mass.
The scandal around the series is associated with the name of the screenwriter Anna Kozlova, who actually wrote this noir filmuroman with a social background. And before the release of the last series, Anna gave an interview, spoke unflattering about the Russian people, from whom she left for Serbia. Immediately the series began to heat the patriotic channels. OKKO general producer made a statement that the creative group and Okko categorically disagree with its statement.
