Cargo 200 / Gruz 200 Series: Envisioning Russia: A Century of Filmmaking [Jan 25 - Feb 14 2008] Director: Aleksei Balabanov, Country: Russia, Release: 2007, Runtime: 90 With Cargo 200, Alexei Balabanov — one of the most impressive talents of the past two decades — creates his most controversial and finest film. Angelica, a free-living, 18-year-old daughter of the local Party secretary, leaves a drunken disco party with her boyfriend Valery. Their car breaks down, and they are forced to ask for help in what looks like an abandoned roadside hovel. It turns out to be inhabited by a bizarre, unstable family that operates a part-time garage, part-time illegal vodka distillery. Quickly and effectively, Balabanov establishes an extraordinary universe of characters—from a paunchy professor of Scientific Atheism to a sadistic police investigator—careening off each other while the action threatens to spin out of control. Set in 1984, the specter of the Soviet-Afghan War infects the entire film; the title refers to the designation for shipments of dead soldiers’ bodies. Balabanov, rather than trying to tell a story, attempts to paint a portrait of Russia on the eve of Perestroika, and the picture is hardly pretty. Not for the squeamish, but not to be missed.
