About This Movie

14 хороших мальчиков presents a unique take on personal redemption through the lens of an arduous dog sled race. The film's atmosphere feels raw and rugged, pulling you into the stark beauty of Kamchatka. The pacing is deliberately reflective, allowing moments of introspection amid the tension of competition. There’s an authenticity in the practical effects—real dogs, real snow, real stakes. Performances, particularly by Mark's father, evoke a sense of generational conflict that resonates through the narrative. It’s not just about winning; it’s about finding one's place in a world that feels both expansive and confining. This film has a certain grit that makes it stand apart in the drama genre, even if it isn’t widely known.

This film has had a limited release, making it quite scarce and intriguing for collectors. Its unique narrative and practical effects have drawn some attention, yet it remains under the radar for many. There have been few home media releases, often surfacing in obscure collections or international film festivals. As such, it’s a curious piece for those who appreciate lesser-known dramas with a distinct cultural flavor.
