Review of 12 (2009) by Eva3Si0N — 02 Nov 2022
12 - a remake of one of the best films from Nikita Mikhalkov. Nikita Mikhalkov was really able to assemble an excellent cast, with real masters of both conscientious and Russian cinema. A great chamber story that perfectly reveals the acting talent of Sergey Makovetsky and other actors.
But "12" has one drawback - this is the original source. He's better at everything. Well, Nikita Mikhalkov could not make a good remake. Why does he need to mix this story with the Chechen war.
Why weave it in? This is a difficult topic that is not disclosed in the film. You cannot position your film serious and allow crooked and inappropriate grotesque in the film. For the Russian film "12" are not very bad, there is a magnificent 10 minute scene without glues with a monologue Makovetsky.
