NOCNOJ DOZOR
/ NIGHT WATCH
DIRECTOR: TIMUR BEKMAMBETOV
RUSSIA 2004
Based on a fantasy novel by Sergej Lukjanenko, NOCNOJ DOZOR presents
the eternal battle, sufficiently known from similar extravaganzas, between
Good and Evil. This time, however, the forces of light and darkness collide
within a complex plot narrated at breakneck pace, and the characters depicted
are anything but black-and-white. We are treated to no end of special
effects, action and blood. The film plays in present-day Moscow, where
magic is apparently part of workaday Russian life: Jealous husbands turn
to witches for help, the kindly neighbour just happens to be a vampire,
and selfish daughters can jeopordize the welfare of entire cities.
