Killed by Lightening / Ubitye Molniey

Camera: Yevgeny Yufit

Cast: Aleksandr Anikeyenko, Aleksandr Maskalin, Vera Novikova

Russia, Netherlands, Switzerland, 2002, 65 min, F

A post-modern age scientist carries out researches on the evolution of humanity. Her anthropological knowledge is mixed with idyllic memories of the adventurous stories told by her father – a submarine commander at the World War II and his unexplored disappearance at the sea battle. Suddenly, completely different theory of the human genesis flashes in woman’s mind…

Original cinema language and tragicomic atmosphere penetrates the science fiction film with a particular coordination of picture and sound. Still in 21st century Yufit continues to shoot his unusual films making to believe the experimental cinema is not dead in Russia.
