REVIEWS


"More than just a criminal drama"

...Strana Glukhikh is such a pure and sincere description of a modern Russian life, that you do not even notice some slow-down's in the plot in the middle. Indeed, this is not a criminal drama as some can think. It is a touching story of people fighting for their happiness told in very warm and sincere words.

"...at its best"

Country of the Deaf ...  is a rare example of the dedication  to the discovery of the subculture of deaf people in modern Russian society.
It is not only about loneliness, love and hate of deaf people. It is about all of us - about the post-soviet generation. Russian actor's school continues to be one of the major ones in the world.

"Excellent"

Overall, plot is catchy. It provides an interesting perspective to lives of Muscovites during the transition from USSR to Russia. I strongly recommend it to anyone who's fed up with the crap that keeps coming out of Hollywood persistently for quite some years now.
​Two thumbs up.

"the poetry"

the poetry of this beautiful story remains the most important fact.  like a form of flavor. like an old fashion Russian drama. the second - the slices of contemporary Russia discovered from perfect angle. a story from the East. like many others. maybe  theatrical. but useful eulogy of small things who defines use. like friendship and hope and help. like the words as bridges. like the choice who must be for define the truth. a beautiful. or a touching one. and the frame for delicate memories.
