Review of Brother

Brother (1997)
7/10
Dark interesting crime film
18 December 2021
Brother or Brat is an interesting film played out during the post soviet era in Russia. The only knowledge about the movie I came in with was that the budget was 10k dollars. And to my surprise, it's incredible what the director managed to compile.

A story-driven movie about a lost Russian boy that manages to end up in crime ends up being great. With a quite boring beginning, it turns out better at the end.

Brat manages to create some stunning cinematography that is beautiful. With a few exceptions, there were a few poorly filmed scenes, especially on the tram.

I highly recommend you watch Brat you won't be disappointed. A true Russian cult classic that is different from the usual western movies.
