Genre
Drama
The screenplay is an adaptation of Chekhov’s mysterious paradoxical and disturbing story, which can be in all justice called the most pessimistic and also the most life-asserting work of the author. The story is based on a real life incident and centers around the head doctor of an asylum who winds up as the asylum patient. Lonely, estranged, reflecting doctor Andrei Ragin is one of the focal characters in the work of Chekhov and the entire world literature of the 20th century. Preserving the story-line the authors deliberately move the scene into the present. Shooting of the film was done in a real asylum. – Award for Best Actor (Vladimir Ilyin) – Moscow IFF, 2009. Cast: Vladimir Ilyin, Alexei Vertkov, Alexander Pankratov-Chiorny, Evgeny Stychkin, Victor Soloviov, Alexei Zarkov, Albina Evtushevskaya, Anna Siniakina Directed by Karen Shakhnazarov, with participation Alexander Gornovsky Script: Alexander Borodiansky, Karen Shakhnazarov Producer: Karen Shakhnazarov

Joe Wright, the BAFTA Award-winning director of "Pride & Prejudice," has reunited with his filmmaking team and his Academy Award-nominated actress, Keira Knightley, for another classic British romance, starring James McAvoy (BAFTA Award nominee for "The Last King of Scotland") opposite Ms. Knightley. Christopher Hampton (Academy Award winner for "Dangerous Liaisons") has written the screenplay adaptation of Ian McEwan's best-selling 2002 novel Atonement. Shot on location in the U.K., the film's story spans several decades. In 1935, 13-year-old fledgling writer Briony Tallis (Saoirse Ronan) and her family live a life of wealth and privilege in their enormous mansion. On the warmest day of the year, the country estate takes on an unsettling hothouse atmosphere, stoking Briony's vivid imagination. Robbie Turner (Mr. McAvoy), the educated son of the family's housekeeper, carries a torch for Briony's headstrong older sister Cecilia (Ms. Knightley). Cecilia, he hopes, has comparable feelings; all it will take is one spark for this relationship to combust. When it does, Briony - who has a crush on Robbie - is compelled to interfere, going so far as accusing Robbie of a crime he did not commit. Cecilia and Robbie declare their love for each other, but he is arrested - and with Briony bearing false witness, the course of three lives is changed forever. Briony continues to seek forgiveness for her childhood misdeed. Through a terrible and courageous act of imagination, she finds the path to her uncertain atonement, and to an understanding of the power of enduring love.
