We saw this film at the outstanding Dryden Theatre at the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, NY. It's just astonishing, and I watched the film with awe. It's even harder for me to comprehend how the director can direct his own acting in a movie. It's hard for me to comprehend how an outstanding director can also be an outstanding actor. He occasionally appears to be considering the consequences of his terrible actions, but he always ends up ignoring the evil and doing what needs to be done. Irina Nizina plays Irina Gutorova, the young boy's mother, and she does an outstanding job in a difficult role.įor me, the real star of the movie is Pasha, played by director Bykov. Sergey is involved in the corruption, although he appears to be a competent police officer, and he's well liked by other members of the force. The entire police force is in cesspool of incompetence and corruption. What follows if convoluted, horrifying, and very, very grim.

He calls his fellow officer, Pasha, to help him decide what to do next. However, he's a high-ranking police official, and he has options that others wouldn't have. If he were almost anything but a police officer, that would be that. There is no question in anyone's mind-including Sergey's-that he's guilty of what we would call involuntary manslaughter or negligent homicide. He ignores warning signs and and speeds past a bus stop, where his car hits and kills a young boy. The film begins with Sergey driving very fast and recklessly to get to the hospital where his wife is in labor. Director Yuriy Bykov plays Pavel Korshunov, called Pasha, another high-ranking police officer. It stars Denis Shvedov as Sergey Sobolev, who is a major in the police force. It was written and directed by Yuriy Bykov. The Russian film Mayor was shown in the U.S. Reviewed by Red-125 10 / 10 Brilliant film, but very, very grim All the characters in this film have to choose - to cross or not to cross the line, when the price for your choice is life.
