Taisiya Kalinchenko

After a tragic accident that resulted in a person’s death, the one responsible lives an unreal, ghostlike life: the protagonist constantly rides a dark tram whose passengers are his old acquaintances from his former, real life.

An angelic-looking but selfish and ruthless young man wanders from crime to crime without the slightest remorse. In the Russian film "Satan," the devil is a delicately handsome young man whose murderous opportunism is too easy to understand. While the film registers shock at its protagonist's absolute amorality, it also presents him as part of a bitterly divided and pessimistic culture. The world of "Satan" is one in which nothing really works, and therefore anything goes.
