Juonikuvaukset(1)
The protagonist Vlad is a man of about forty; he lives and works as watchman in an old sanatorium that is due to be demolished. He obviously needs this work to live the life of a hermit. One night a married couple appears at the sanatorium: Vera and Stas. They are on the run. They are pursued by former friends and business partners of Stas. Vlad decides to help them, because he too is hiding from the past. Each character is threatened with the inevitable payment for wrong choices in the past, but helping each other, they try to expiate these faults. (Kinotavr)

The film had a very slow pace, but what can you expect from a setting that’s practically a wasteland, constantly covered in snow, surrounded by a tru Russian frost. Plus, the permanent residents are a crew counting one man and one dog, which, out of loneliness, decides to jump ship. It’s true that the number of characters slightly increases over time, but it barely affects the pace of the story. Despite the lengthiness, I was able to enjoy it (albeit somewhat grudgingly) – I guess there’s something about that Bykov.

Yuri Bykov is a decent Russian director and so far I have liked everything from him, but Guard didn't really interest me thematically. The film is more of a drama, which escalates a bit towards the end, but I didn't find it very entertaining. If these story-driven films don't have a captivating story and dialogue, they don't impress me. Story***, Action>No, Humor>No, Violence*, Entertainment***, Music***, Visuals***, Atmosphere***, Tension***. 5/10.
