17 Augusta
Alexander Gutman
A parabole on the contempory Russia or the normal day in life of a prisoner.
«In my film 17 August, like in a mirror, the rea lities of today’s life in Russia are reflected. Daily crimes are committed and people in power were absolutely sure that God will forgive them. Today the faith in God in Russia looks like a play in communism. The whole country prays, but does not believe. This is a strange and horrible play without repentance. The prison where the character of my film stays is contemporary Russia.»
