Elena (2011)
Fascinating ambiguity
1 February 2012 - 38 out of 54 users found this review helpful.
This movie is great, slow but beautiful, but the ambiguity is the best part, all the themes are condensed in the first and final frame, think about it, what is worth? the welfare of many aside his flaws or the coldness and sterility of few.
The atmosphere is hypnotic.
All the characters have reasonable grounds, all are ugly but very real.
The synthesis to show the decadence and disillusionment of Russian youth is strong
the performances are outstanding overhanging the main female character which we do not know if understand or condemn and even though the couple has some reason the mother instinct is prevalent, is simply a game of survival.
