How Viktor 'The Garlic' took Alexey 'The Stud' to the nursing Home (15*) + ScreenTalk

New East Cinema

,Barbican Cinema 1
Viktor's had a rough time

'The Garlic', an angry young man, embarks on a journey of temporary reconciliation with his ex-convict father ‘The Stud’, in search for a nursing home.

This compelling award winning debut feature evokes the aesthetics of Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction and Danny Boyle’s Trainspotting, as it takes us on a satirical journey through dysfunctional parenthood.

Throbbing beats of Russian rap, vibrant colours and deadpan humour create an ironic commentary on contemporary Russia.

Director Alexander Hant joins us for a post-film ScreenTalk led by James King, Head of Theatrical Sales at Curzon Artificial Eye.
