A patient, formally daring work — the cinematography lingers on empty rooms longer than most audiences will tolerate, but those who stay are rewarded with the most haunting final act of the year.
1978Drama
Fifth Season
Two friends, yesterday's workers, return to the plant as engineers. Andrey becomes the head of the workshop, and Pavel becomes an employee of the State Supervision Authority for Quality. A conflict arises between friends: Andrey “drives quantity,” Pavel tries to prevent the production of low-quality parts.

I walked in expecting another genre exercise and walked out feeling like I'd been eavesdropping on a confession. The lead performance is genuinely singular — a career-defining turn.

A few too many scenes feel borrowed from a better film, but the soundtrack and the production design carry the rest. Solid recommendation for fans of slow-burn European thrillers.
