The Petrovs are an average family living in the peaceful city of Yekaterinburg in post-Soviet Russia. They follow their daily regimens with quiet consistency, but beneath this layer of the ordinary, things turn out to be quite extraordinary. Petrov lives his life in a parallel comic universe, breaking out of the mundane to do everything from abducting children as a humanoid alien, to lining up Russian aristocrats against a wall and shooting them down. Petrov has been dealing with the flu, but goes about his regular life, often getting drunk and spending the night out. His wife, Petrova, is a librarian by day and a superhero vigilante with a maniacal streak by night; she kills abusive men. (Strand Releasing)

In his feverish hallucination of contemporary Russia and its ties to the past, Serebrennikov reels between Altmanesque mosaic, festival exploitation and an ostentatious display of his own abilities as a director. It is definitely necessary to tip one’s hat to the expansively elaborate yet natural-seeming mise-en-scene in combination with the long, complicated tracking shots. But the moment you understand that the fever is a justification for the fact that absolutely anything is possible, it takes the wind out of the sails of the premise consisting in the contrast between the helpless and aimless lives of ordinary people against their materialising fantasies, where they vent their frustrations in escapades of strength. What remains is primarily a spectacularly delirious formalistic exhibition and treatise on Russia, which characteristically bubbles over despite any attempt to somehow generally deal with it.
