Russia’s Under The Influence In MORFIY

Coming soon from Russian production house CTB - home to titles such as Mongol, Cargo 200, The Sword Bearer and Rock Head, so you know they’ve got things figured out as far as making intelligent flicks with a genre edge - is upcoming period drama Morfiy or Morphia.  English language information on this one is hard - as in impossible, so far - to come by but, frankly, I really don’t need to see much more than what’s in the trailer to convince me that this could be something exceptional.  Beautifully shot the film is a haunting, period-set, psycho sexual thriller fueled, in large part, by the opiates hinted at in the title.  The trailer has some truly unsettling moments in it, unsettling in a way that would do David Lynch proud.

    Most certainly inspired by the works of Russian authour Mikhail Bulgakov judging by the quote at the beginning and by some of the imagery. Some scenes seem to have been lifted from his autobiographical collection A Country Doctor’s Notebook. I don’t remember any tales about drugs in it, though. Or any sexy bits whatsoever. Or any shootouts. Looks good enough, though.

    looks like it has great production values.
