Eugenia Tirdatova's film "Zone of turbulence" is made in the style of the new Russian realizsm - in the way of, say, "Simple Things" by Popogrebsky. It is shot very simply, without any frills, and tells a simple story, picking up close and understandable themes for everyone. Characters of the film are common people without any particular features, but with their joys and concerns. To put it simply, “Zone of turbulence" is a film about you and me.
Three storylines are being diclosed in the film, covering a significant period of time (about five years). The first one is the story of a single woman Irina, who works in a veterinary clinic and lives with a grown-up son. The second storyline talks about the son of Irina, Mitya - a bit strange, but in general a good and honest man. A third story is called "Seryozha" – and we won’t tell you about whom it is. "Zone of turbulence" will be shown at the festival one more time, so if you would like to, you can find it out by yourself. You’ll be surprised, we promise.
We can talk about small parts of such stars as Ivan Okhlobystin (who, incidentally, is very interesting in the role of a fascist talkative driver), Andrey Fomin, Anatoly Belyi; or talk about the great work of actors involved in the main parts; or even tell you about importance of humor in the film, which, in general, tells us not only about the problems of a single family, but the whole country (the scene with the police can be taken as an example). But the main thing in the film is, perhaps, its simplicity and accessibility for everyone. Perhaps, "Zone of turbulence" is not intended to be a masterpiece of cinematography - but this is just the right movie to be shown on television on evenings.
