The film "Moscow Massacre" was filmed by the famous Russian-Armenian LGBT activist Sergei Sarkisyan. The main role in it is played by Rina Sobolev. She plays a young lesbian who becomes a victim of a homophobic-minded young man. The plot is very relevant for a country like Russia, where gays (including the director of this film), lesbians and transsexuals constantly face discrimination in the workplace. The camera work is done at a high level, the director is well able to convey the whole atmosphere of autumn Moscow. Also in the film there are effects of time dilation. The main antagonist is played by George Kostenko and I really liked his acting. It is a pity that there is no voice acting in the film, so all the dialogues are served in the form of subtitles. Perhaps this is such a clever directorial move. Although, most likely, the director did not have enough money for a normal microphone.
