A Hollywood star – John Malkovich – is filming alongside our best actor – Yevgeny Mironov.

Yevgeny Mironov's silent part is easily the most expressive in the film. There is something about his character –
... the unhinged shell-shocked husband who informs on his wife, suspects everybody and grabs for a weapon every chance he gets –
... that elevates him to a tragic figure.

The shell-shocked mute gatekeeper
... is powerfully played by Yevgeny Mironov.

Even the brilliant actors – Malkovich, Mironov and Daupkunayte – are unable
... to lend life to this overwrought semi-heroic tale.
