About This Movie

So, 'High Standard' from 1983, it's a TV movie that really dives into the intricacies of workplace dynamics in a foundry setting. Sergei Ilyin, the protagonist, faces this uphill battle after getting appointed as the head. The atmosphere is heavy with tension, and you can feel the struggle between the old guard and the new ideas he brings. The pacing is quite methodical, which, for some, might seem slow, but it really allows the tension to build. The performances are solid yet understated, drawing you into the moral complexities of his proposals. It's fascinating how it captures the era's industrial challenges, but it doesn’t shy away from the personal stakes involved. Definitely a unique slice of 80s TV drama.
