"This world belongs to me!" High Octane Pictures has released an official trailer for a Russian sci-fi movie titled A Rough Draft, formerly known as just The Draft. This super trippy, weird techno-thriller is about a video game designer who is stripped of his identity and then recruited by a mysterious group to be the gatekeeper of a multi-dimensional portal. He learns to open the portals to a variety of parallel worlds which represent alternative versions of Moscow: a steampunk Imperial Russia, a post-apocalyptic tropic resort world, a dystopian Gulag world, and a highly advanced utopian world. Over time, Kirill learns that our Earth is a rough draft, a setting for social experiments secretly staged by the government of the utopian world, in order to avoid our mistakes. Starring Nikita Volkov, Yevgeny Tkachuk, Olga Borovskaya, and Yulia Peresild. This looks like a crazy concept for a movie, perhaps just a...

This charmingly lugubrious adaptation of Turgenev’s A Month in the Country stars Fiennes as a cerebral man who has fallen for a married woman
Characters drift like sad ghosts across the screen in this highly conventional, muted adaptation of Ivan Turgenev’s 1872 stage play A Month in the Country. It takes time to grow on you, but for me, there is a demure watchability. Ralph Fiennes has mastered Russian dialogue for the leading role, one of wan and fastidious melancholy – the kind of performance, in fact, with which he used to be identified, before recent comic flourishes in A Bigger Splash and The Grand Budapest Hotel. The drama is soapishly full of the inter-generational romantic intrigue you expect from Turgenev. Fiennes is Mikhail, a gentle, cerebral man who has fallen hopelessly for a married woman: Natalya (Anna Astrakhantseva), who has in turn conceived a secret passion for Alexei (Nikita Volkov...
