Freedom

Directed by Evgeny Lavrentiev

With Elena Kochkina, Nella Strekalovskaya, Denis Nurulin, Artyom Tkachenko and Aleksandr Gorbatov

At the center of this social absurdist comedy, filmed like a performance, are beautiful and bold women. They meet men and introduce them to their way of life. The men like where they've ended up and become part of the unique world of their chosen women. "Freedom" is a leftist pamphlet on the immodest charm of the bourgeoisie, made with a love of irony and the excessively free spirit of humanity. This is an auteur film, if only because the author himself periodically appears on screen throughout the story, narrating it to the viewer.
