Russian film

well, I wanted to write that the film begins as an American teen story grufti with cliché (evil outsider who dreams blah) etc.
and this is true already, still.
then the film became an art ...
conveniently produced fairytale, special effects etc almost on amateur filmmakers level - and great storytelling thus!
a little bit gothic cliche, but rather glorified from the scene out, almost gothic-style film or underground?
Finally, was a martial arts style combat waste (there were really many, many cuts :-)

and yes, then come all the twists and confusions somehow ..
fascinating!

and overall I really liked the movie, Weil halt some games was more than ami-teen movie or European depression.
