When you wish you were Eisenstein


Furious (2017)

Directed by Dzhanik Fayziev & Ivan Shurkhovetskiy this film based on historical events stars Ilya Malakov, Polina Chernyshova and Aleksei Serebryakov. Following the fall of Ryazan to the Mongols a Russian knight seeks revenge with his small band of warriors.

Over the top and not letting history get in the way of action sequences this is no a realist film and certainly not Aleksander Nevskey (1938), which this film even goes on to reference at the climax. Not really one I would recommend for anyone looking for a good historical film. I suppose this is fine if you just want some mindless entertainment.

2/5
