The Suicide (1990) is a fascinating dive into the absurdity of life in a changing Soviet landscape. The film’s tone oscillates between dark humor and poignant moments, reflecting Semyon Podsekalnikov's existential crisis. Pacing is a bit uneven, but that adds to the overall atmosphere of desperation and absurdity. The practical effects are minimal but impactful, relying instead on the performances to convey the weight of Semyon’s plight. It’s not just about the act of suicide; it’s a commentary on societal pressures and personal failures. The quirky dialogue and the characters' interactions feel very much of its time, making it a unique piece for collectors interested in post-Soviet cinema.
