IN TRANZIT: RUSSIAN CRITICS ON MIRONOV'S PERFORMANCE

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.
