“im feeling ill. i am not well. there’s something wrong with my face, its not my face. i don’t understand whats wrong with me.”
this film brings Konstantin Lopushansky’s ‘Apocalypse Trilogy’ to a close in such an epic fashion. this dostoyevsky-esque post apocalyptic spiritual drama was the perfect conclusion to what is one of my favorite trilogy’s of all time. from the get go it was an exploration of absurdism and intellectual torture, it was brimming with pessimism, references to russian history/culture, and post soviet themes, almost serving as an allegory that the fall of the USSR was essentially the end of the world (among countless other themes). i will say its more than likely the “weakest” film of the trilogy, but not by a large margin, by all means its an absolutely fantastic movie, but it just wasn’t quite as impressive as the former 2 films. still, i strongly feel that every movie in this 3 film saga and Lopushansky’s filmography as a whole is grossly underrated and under appreciated.
