Russian Cinema Today 2009 / Director: Valeriya Gai Germanika
Everybody Dies But Me
A gritty, emotionally charged coming-of-ager, ”Everybody Dies but Me” offers up a bare-bones portrait of adolescent angst in the violent suburbs of Moscow. Scripted like ”Mean Girls”-meets-”Kids”, and shot with a handheld immediacy that reveals director Valeria Gaia Germanika’s docu roots, the film features highly convincing perfs by three teenage nonpros, whose big mouths and Siberia-sized chutzpah bring chaos to their parents, peers and ultimately one another.
