Adults, written and directed by Aleksy chupov and eight others
7 out of 10
The presence of John Malkovich in this russian saga is sure
to attract the attention, although only one critic seems to have bothered so
far with the film, at least on the notable IMDB.
It is not Leviafan – a masterpiece that makes it in top
fifty best films for this cinephile adn might be the best of the past decade –
or The Gentle Creature, but it could be appreciated on alevel with
Noneteheless, what the motion picture ressembles most is
Love Actually and it can be its equal.
Pro Lyubov is in fact a mosaic of short stories that
interscet at some point, like Love Actually.
One intersting segment has the tilte Swingers – they each
seem to have a different writer- director.
The husband is experiencing what psychology calls in one
version the Honeymoon Effect.
Another take would have the name The Coolidge Effect –
refering to the anecdote with the american president inthe spotlight.
He seems to have visited a farm, where his wife was asking
about the very active rooster.
When asked how many times would the birc copulate, she was
told that it was quite a big number – maybe close to one hundred...
She wanted this information to reach the president, who
retorted when told with the memorable:
Is everytime with the same hen?
No...
Well, tell that to the Frist Lady
The man who wants to be a swinger takes his reluctant wife
to see this couple, where the young woman turns out to be a forner student of
the professor spouse and amusingly, shee keeps corecting the very bad language
used by the sensous gilr, using slef criticism...
When the woman who likes to be raped says she was a failed student,
the teacher muses that it is ws more her failure as a professor.
The intially unwilling wife is given some pills with her
drink, of which she is unware and then starts kissing the swinger man who is
into BDSM, takes him to another room, where she is handcuffed to a pipe and her
moans make the now jealous husband enetr the room and fight with the swinger,
pull the wife who seems to ahev no way out, for the keys to the cuffs are
soemwhere in the country and then the pipe is off the wall, sending water over
the couple that now kiss and embracew ith passion...
The obvious lesson? Perhaps we need to nbe loyal, good
spouses and forget about these imoral encounters...right?
Another strange tale has the most famous actor of russia
kidnapped by a woman who just wants his sperm in a cup, in a very luxurious
mansion that belongs to a poltician – is there a feeble criticism for the stae
of things in what is a form of dictaorship.
The deputee husband arrives and we learn that he is the one
who wnats his wife to have a baby with this handsoem artist, for he considers
himself ugly, becasue of thsi aledegs handicap he has suffered in his life –
evidently before acquiring an opulanet lifstyle.
There is a moralistic, if simplistic, rather preposteorus
and ofetn ridiculous message to most ofn these stories, in the baby from the
cup, the actor teaches them about love, with a text that he has picked up from
the Lecturer aka John Malkovich, who does not apply what he teaches.
There is a teenager who wants to lose her virginity, which
seems as cumbersome for her as to resort to meeting strangers and creeps on the
local version of tinder, rich potatntaes that worry about her legal age, a few
perverts, without understanding that she has a boy who loves her always near...
deja vu, cliche?
Naturally.
