4
The enigmatic aspect of the film is fully supported by the absolutely unique camera work that never leaves the characters alone. 4 is based on a script by Vladimir Sorokin, a well-known radical writer who has challenged numerous taboos in Russian culture, such as using foul language or talking about homosexuality. His works have sparked controversy, and his enemies have publicly burned his books. Khrzhanovsky's film has been subject to censorship in his home country. (Ludmila Cvikova)
