Oleg Mavromatti: “I really can’t say in one word what the film is about. Perhaps, “it’s about America”. I had this idea to show a different America. It’s not Hollywood, it is a movie about vision and points of view. Unexpectedly I shot a movie which is understandable to American intellectuals. Now my fear is whether this movie would be understandable in Moscow? Culture is totally different! As they shoot in Hollywood, any one, any average student, with no brains can shoot. That’s why all independents keep looking for a new language. They look for it painfully and strangely. New forms appear, but no one can understand them in Russia. Of course, we do not talk about Lynch or Tarantino; they are just top of the iceberg, lucky few, who found their way.”
