StoryLine:

Miles away from the absurdist theatrics of his debut feature, Fat Stupid Rabbit, Ross convincingly depicts various country folk fighting to survive both in and around the ironically named hamlet of Monamour, located in the heart of the Siberian taiga. Cut off from the outside world in conditions that appear unchanged since the reign of Nicolas II, the place is left open to attack by dogs and thieves scouring the land for food.The well-constructed narrative has several characters crossing paths at different points, centering on an orphaned 7-year-old boy, Lyochka (Mikhail Protsko), and his god-fearing grandfather (vet Pyotr Zaichenko, Taxi Blues), who reside alone in a ramshackle log cabin. After stopping by to offer assistance, Lyochka’s uncle (Sergei Novikov) suffers a horrible fate, leaving his dad and nephew completely isolated as the winter sets in and the snow begins to tumble.Monamour 2006 Movie Download.

A parallel, somewhat lighter storyline involves a mentally unstable army captain (the formidable Nikolai Kozak) who’s been sent on a mission to retrieve a prostitute for his cigar-chomping lieutenant (Sergei Puskepalis, How I Ended This Summer). Accompanied by a young private (Maxim Yemelyanov), the soldiers traverse the mud-filled country roads until they eventually snare a girl (Lidiya Bairashevskay), and only then have a change of heart.

Initially developed under the Cannes Residence program, the screenplay’s different plots are sufficiently weaved together, even if they do suffer from a certain heavy-handedness and overt symbolism (e.g. wild dogs racing beneath a rusty Communist-era monument, a child’s drawing substituting as an Orthodox icon). But Ross often undercuts such moments with a dark (and very Russian) sense of humor, as well as a pointed naturalistic style that accompanies certain scenes, including a roadside picnic where two characters swap stories and indulge in a bottle of moonshine.
