First Encounter - Last Encounter

About This Movie

First Encounter - Last Encounter is a unique blend of comedy, drama, and mystery set in pre-revolutionary Saint Petersburg. The film follows Petya Chukhontsev, a not-quite-lawyer who finds himself wrapped up in a murder case that has this eerie sense of foreboding and dark humor. There’s a palpable tension throughout, as the pacing ebbs and flows, taking unexpected detours into the absurd. The performances have a raw quality that draws you in, especially Chukhontsev’s quirky charm. The practical effects are modest, but they serve the story rather than distract from it. It’s not just about solving a mystery; it’s also about the intrigues of a society on the brink of chaos. A fascinating snapshot of a time and place.
