I don't like the way the main character stares, he's like on drugs. So far, it's getting weirder and weirder. Kripovy monastery. And I would punish people who make jokes by jumping on you in a dark corridor. I flinched.
I think that everyone there is still gawking from the local water, in addition to medicines, because through the frame someone drinks a thread and gawks at him, everyone in their own way, then pulls them into the water, then as wet, so the head cracks, but everyone permanently drinks it and drinks
@Foxtober: he's gawking so much because he has brain cancer, the tumor touches parts of the brain, and you know the brain is the organ responsible for everything My mom had brain cancer, and the way they put it on the show, that's what happens in life.
@Foxtober: it is clear there when a brain scan (X-ray) appears in the frame when he was talking to the Germans, and there is a tumor visible on the X-ray
and I really like the camerawork, it looks interesting. though these movements max when I turn the camera around Denis was very strange, he's standing next to, then after two seconds already from next door comes out but when the door lowed I thought they were just there to break, it's one thing when in the next room, the old man is dying coughs, but there are more like that with the gag in his mouth there is someone locked when Sonya and grandmother were talking about the monastery, she thought, say not that there are people otmachivat, and raise up that.. and a cool shot turned out with them in profile, very similar, as if the same person in old age and in youth
Well, I think Sonya should be drooping and incomprehensible. her sister died, she ran away from home and it's kind of hard for her, it's clear even from her appearance: big circles under her eyes, always sad (I don't remember her smiling at least once)
Uh-huh.. such windows are as tall as a man, and in the northern monasteries - there has never been such a thing, of course. As an Archangel City man I tell you
It seems that Baba Nyura is like a friendly Baba Yaga. And they washed themselves in the bathhouse to wash off the "Russian spirit" and move to another world. However, when the light turned off, I was waiting for a banner to pop out of the corner and evaporate, and that Elya, when she opened the door, Katya would find a corpse without skin.
@Hannah_Abbot: I recently read Propp's "Morphology of a Fairy Tale" and my thoughts are exactly the same, I agree with you. And Baba Yaga is characterized there as a guardian divider between the world of the living and the world of the dead in his "cleansing hut" with a bathhouse. And the water, which is sometimes given to guests in the form of tea, then in the form of alcohol, then in some other way - dead water, which in fairy tales they drink to finally go into a state of death and begin their posthumous journey of the hero. Very beautiful allusions!
The series is very similar in atmosphere to another Russian project - Lapsi. However, the camerawork here is several heads higher. The characters are intriguing, the plot moves, although not very dynamically, but the most important thing for the atmosphere. So far, apparently, the local land is fulfilling wishes: - Katya wanted to die - she is dead (at least at the moment it was shown that way) - Max wanted young girls (and porn and then talked on the train) appeared - Lisa was worried about her sister (she was probably involved in her death) - her grandmother tells her that you can pray for your soul here This is one version. There is another one, if in the first series they really crashed and are in a kind of "coma", hence the discrepancy in the form of a monastery and so on, then perhaps Katya received the least injuries in the accident, no wonder the driver said that she was the most alive. And her disappearance may indicate that, on the contrary, she got out and came to her senses. She came to life. If that's just speculation, maybe I've looked at something somewhere.
@AhmetzyanovR: I'm also leaning towards the second version. However, I did not understand the beginning of the film: the first time their truck rammed, and the second time (or what?) they flew into a ditch.
A bunch of different clothes reminded me of a wrong Turn, there are a lot of references in each episode. And Yankovsky keeps talking to the void, hallucinations-nuns? There was also a suicide in the monastery, oh, the creators are walking on very thin ice
@m1stake: I'm surprised that no one has rebelled yet and is not yelling about obscurantism and all that, but I hope such a contingent is simply not included in the CA of the project
The characters are getting a little more voluminous. The atmosphere is heating up. Well, I like what I see in general and that's it, the creators did a very good job.
For many people, the marshes resemble some other works in separate pieces, and I think this feature is very cool.
I myself watched with the thought ‘well, I've definitely seen something so straight Russian and I really liked it’ - I remembered that the screenwriter Glukhovsky and this is all the same aesthetics of the wilderness that was in metro exodus, it's really beautiful and interesting
at first, of course, I really want to grimace at these ‘es sun es posibles’ and ‘breaks’ from the hero Yankovsky, but then you realize that you say so yourself, and many say it, and it's not taken from your head and stereotypes, but literally from people
I just started watching, and the characters are already walking one by one, ala, let's split up, everyone's actions are very strange and not logical, let's see what happens next, maybe they're all staring
@MaxAsapov: they don't seem to go like that, only Katya is left alone, but in the baths, I thought it was safe there, although we don't know what happened yet, but even in the forest they go in a crowd.
I don't know why, but it seems to me that the girl did not disappear, but "survived". We saw two scenes: an accident with a truck and a second accident on the shore. Maybe an accident on the shore is like getting into this world of "afterlife", but there is no driver, since he is either a carrier of the dead, i.e. Charon, or he also survived, and did not fall into a coma like the others. I don't know, but the series somehow hints at this illogical behavior of "people".
After the first accident, the driver was the only one who left when all the broken ones were in the car, so I bet that the driver survived and therefore disappeared after the second accident.
What a service in a monastery! who gave them such a site? Or is this a divorce for suckers? And the village is even scarier than the monastery.. And again, a local cop who is exactly aware of everything, but he needs to walk along the edge, as in the "Territory"
But I was reminded of the "Survival Game" by the atmosphere and AIU season 9. And so there are many alternative TV series on similar subjects in the Russian film industry)
It's getting more interesting, darker and weirder. For example, who created a website about a monastery and why, if there is not even a cell phone in the nearest village. I am not familiar with Glukhovsky's work, so I do not know what plot twists to expect. I'm not the only one who noticed that Topi is about the second series from Kinopoisk, which first had 3 episodes at once, and then one at a time? An unusual series output, as for me.
Well, I'm xs. The idea is interesting, the location is cool, the camerawork has already been noted here. It's all cool.
But everything else is some kind of stereotypical muddle seen in other Russian TV series.
1. The obligatory relationship of everyone with everyone. House-2 on the road. Sex is the basis of everything. 2. Chatter, chatter, chatter, the endless chatter of heroes about the past, about inner tosses... Dudes, give me the mystics, please. 3. A 30-year-old girl suffers because she is old and retired. God. What year is it now, huh? No, I admit that among poorly educated, dense people there is a widespread opinion that "women shrink after 27," but here people seem to be different. 4. They are drinking everywhere, and strong alcohol is enough, please.
Katya's sneakers were found in the yard of the house in the refrigerator, but for some reason they went to look for her in the forest, and not to those grandmothers who had crosses found.
@Jesse: @Jesse: I didn't get the joke either... Apparently they decided to trust the cop. Considering that one of them catches glitches almost every minute, the other just wants to get up, so they didn't think about it, and to be honest, the place is not particularly pleasant, it winds up some kind of darkness, so they left quickly.
The scene in the village of the PPTS is creepy and the moment with candles is very gloomy, even these old photos evoke some kind of unpleasant atmosphere. I would like to mention the excellent camerawork. These 360° circular shots and first-person shots are a very good solution, it helps to better delve into what is happening and feel the atmosphere... The overpowering musical accompaniment gives you goosebumps...
As I understand it, the main characters are lost souls who did not understand how they died. Plus, there are also beliefs that souls get confused at the crossroads and cannot find their way to heaven or hell, and they just crashed at the intersection. And Katya apparently fell into a coma, but did not die, so she was called the most alive of all.
The version is good, but imho not complete. There must be something else here that could explain the large number of missing people in this particular place. And the fact that the driver knows something for sure, because when asked by "tourists" about what is happening here with so many missing people, he replied: "you won't believe it anyway." Ie, he looks more like a certain Charon in his role.
@Annie10792: maybe they weren't looking for anyone else there, except Katya. And blood dripped from the bag onto Ela's forehead, so they decided that someone was alive there..
the atmosphere is just oppressive. dark green floral pattern, strange angles, Max suddenly jumping out from around the corner, a sofa with grandma peeling potatoes, and at the same time very similar to each other, creepy stories from grandma herself, Katya disappeared, an eagle nailed to the wall, incomprehensible drawings.
The atmosphere reminded me very much of the French "dead zone". There was something like that there too.
Yankovsky is still strange, mysterious and beautiful💗
and I would like to have such a disinterest in what is happening (namely, in finding the remains of someone) Like Sonya's.
Yankovsky's game is fire. You look at his semi-delusional state and believe. With all his appearance, he shows that he has essentially nothing more to lose and he looks at this trip as a game with God - he will be able to win another couple of years or a death sentence has been signed.
Chot Glukhovsky fails, of course, by stupidity. The car rested its front bumper on the sand - and let's push it forward, not back. Let's pull out a wad of money in front of an unknown driver and hold it in front of him. Let's see other people's things in the monastery and start immediately pawing and taking everything for ourselves. Their girlfriend is missing and the devil knows what's going on in the village - you still have to think about fucking. The visual is beautiful, but there are a lot of dumb moments. The cloying and pathos of Glukhovsky's dialogues has been noticed since M2034.
And I don't understand where so many fans were formed in the comments, it seems that the project is not for people from the series "wow, how cool and perfect everything is, how beautiful everything is", the disadvantages are obvious... Probably my comment will also be hushed up))0
Should I blame the author for the fact that the characters of the series are pushing the wrong way? And in fact, how can urban residents living in the center, driving around by taxi, know where and why to push? Moreover, torn out of their comfort zone, in an unfamiliar place, there would be much dumber people doing things there To the account of a bundle of money...I have personally seen such people quite often. And about touching other people's things in a seemingly abandoned monastery. You obviously haven't wandered through the abandoned buildings, because it's still interesting what lies where
So surprisingly, the characters and dialogues are too vital here. Usually in Russian TV series, everyone communicates and behaves very unreal.
@ebech: Well, he wrote the script, who else to blame. I've never had a car in my life and I also take a taxi, but, damn, it's clear that the car is stuck forward and it won't move anywhere... I haven't seen people with bundles of money for a sooo long time, so I guess that's the impression. Well, abandonment is my favorite, especially from childhood, in all sorts of sanatoriums. But I never touched anything, just walked around and looked =D
Well, so far, of the new web series, Bondarchuk's Psycho seems to be the most mundane and excellent in all plans: both with a beautiful wrapper and with a perfectly written script.
But, I'll slow down my ardor a little, the third series has already started to catch on well, I hope it won't disappoint by the end, as it was with the Whirlpool. But still, the redneck dialogues a la "youth on show" are very annoying.
@PineappleDrew: and I agree with you. The characters look inanimate, feigned. They do some things that can only be done according to the script. And in general, the series looks like it was being prepared for export – to repeat the fate of the "Epidemic".
Очень жутко смотреть. Но это даже плюс. Операторская работа 👏🏻 Я просто кайфую от видов и цветокорекции сериала. Актёры очень нравятся, прям очень.
Мыслей пока вообще никаких нет. Меня ещё в первой серии смутила эта авария, вариант про кому конечно интересный, да и про деревню, которая исполняет желания тоже (тоже в комменте прочитала).
У меня ещё есть мысли по поводу воды. Просто, как-то слишком странно, как только они пьют воду с этой земли, сразу начинается какая-то дичь. Не знаю почему, но вода это единственное о чём я подумала.
Не могу перестать сравнивать с территорией. Удивлена, что тут никто об этом не писал. Эти прелести русский глубинки со своими легендами, главный герой, впадающий в ступор с какими-то флэш бэками, странная деревня с пугающими персонажами, один единственный мент на всю деревню. Так и жду, когда кто нибудь икотку подхватит По поводу двух аварий. Там не зря вставили довольно длинную подсъемку воды. В конце ручеёк раздваивается, как будто тропинка. Это возможно говорит о том, что события пошли двумя дорогами или о том, что нужно будет выбрать путь.
Ну не знаю, пока не понравился сериал, хотя я только 2 с половиной серии посмотрела, но уже сложилось впечатление о всем сериале. Странный он какой-то; не понимаю почему всем нравится. Похож на «Территорию» и «Игру на выживание», эти сериалы тоже какие-то не очень, но это мое мнение
Атмосфера классная, пробирает прям так знатно. И завязывается все в интересный ком такой. Но, пока нифига непонятно. Остается только наблюдать и, надеется, что все же разложится все по полочкам. А то только сидишь и теории сумасшедшие в голове прокручиваешь
Только не говорите ,что Катю слили. Бомбануло с того ,что Соня пошла в тёмный коридор одна. Ну да, надо же пойти одной , мы же знаем ,что там или кто. Батюшка повесился. Дениса как-будто проклял кто или же , из-за чего-то он начал как тарчок себя вести. Понравилась сцена где Соня и Денис лежат , а соня ему по руке пальцами ходит) Почему же парни не спросили у мента почему все как загипнотизированные, им как-будто это не показалось странным .
Макс утомляет желанием всем залесть в трусы, Соня типа невинная, а делает странные вещи, Эля пока самая "нормальная" из всех, Денису нечего терять, в принципе как и всем, но ему больше всех, Катя так хотела быть моложе, что видать думала, что молодость во всемдавании находится, одного скрутила, второму волосики крутит, пенсионерка, хоспади 30 лет, все пипец жизнь кончена... И как же заколебал её гребанный чемодан! Посмотрим, что нашли, уговорили)
В начале серии абсолютно непонятно было, почему они не идут пешком до цивилизации, а сидят в машине. Почему пошла только Катя на дорогу? Явно что-то интересное будет с одноглазым дедом и молоденькой девочкой. Пока дух захватывает, и да, операторская работа на высоте👍
Они правда попали в аварию, показанную в первой сцене, не увернулись от грузовика И река тоже символ перехода в другой мир, они ее пересекли А здесь - чистилище И поэтому люди в деревне их не видят А бабка, которая их приютила, мертвая И мент тоже мертвый, причем давно, поэтому еще мвд у него везде, а не полиция И после бани, когда бабка их укладывает, она им говорит: спите спокойно; и свечи ставит как вокруг гроба А Катя (которая потерялась) в бане сидит долго - это реанимация, ее врачи откачали, поэтому она и пропала, а еще мужик на самосвале говорил, что она одна на живую похожа - может этот грузовик тоже типа скорая
Мне пока прям нравится
Вот будет удивительно, если моя теория неверная, потому что я все больше убеждаюсь в этом
По моим ощущениям ,что это баба Яга их к себе заселила. И в баньке папарила .и чаек подливала ..посмотрим что будет дальше .не понятно куда делся мужик ,что из всех вез.и люди будто не видят их .
Да, воистину жутенько. И если в зарубежных сериалах всё воспринимается не так близко, чуть фантастичнее, потому что многие вещи не знакомы и не близки, то здесь прям верится. Жуткая заброшенная деревня, подобие которой почти все мы встречали. Все эти детали. До мелочей локация проработана. Жутко и от этого интригующе. Ну а сцена: Остаться одной в бане-в очеге всего мистического, да ещё и ночью, меня аж промурашило. Катины кроссовки рядом с белыми тапочками. Такие вещи замечаешь, когда знаешь какие никакие обряды и традиции. Бабуля со своими свечами, ещё бы сказала За упокой, прости Господи😄
Вообще очень странно, прям бед трип какой-то и все так же пока ничего не понятно, единственное, что пока нравится это жуткие и от того красивые кадры, операторская работа точно заслуживает уважения.
My mom had brain cancer, and the way they put it on the show, that's what happens in life.
but when the door lowed I thought they were just there to break, it's one thing when in the next room, the old man is dying coughs, but there are more like that with the gag in his mouth there is someone locked
when Sonya and grandmother were talking about the monastery, she thought, say not that there are people otmachivat, and raise up that.. and a cool shot turned out with them in profile, very similar, as if the same person in old age and in youth
The series leads to horror.
Watch while it's interesting, let's see what happens next.
Oh, strange people, gloomy atmosphere.
Further - more.
The characters are intriguing, the plot moves, although not very dynamically, but the most important thing for the atmosphere.

А то только сидишь и теории сумасшедшие в голове прокручиваешь
-груз 200"
Хорошо отсылка конечно))
Они правда попали в аварию, показанную в первой сцене, не увернулись от грузовика
И река тоже символ перехода в другой мир, они ее пересекли
А здесь - чистилище
И поэтому люди в деревне их не видят
А бабка, которая их приютила, мертвая
И мент тоже мертвый, причем давно, поэтому еще мвд у него везде, а не полиция
И после бани, когда бабка их укладывает, она им говорит: спите спокойно; и свечи ставит как вокруг гроба
А Катя (которая потерялась) в бане сидит долго - это реанимация, ее врачи откачали, поэтому она и пропала, а еще мужик на самосвале говорил, что она одна на живую похожа - может этот грузовик тоже типа скорая
Мне пока прям нравится
Вот будет удивительно, если моя теория неверная, потому что я все больше убеждаюсь в этом
И в баньке папарила .и чаек подливала ..посмотрим что будет дальше .не понятно куда делся мужик ,что из всех вез.и люди будто не видят их .
