The foreign audience was delighted with him.
The films “Brother” and “Brother-2” with Sergei Bodrov remain one of the favorite films of Russians. The dilogy of Alexei Balabanov is also known abroad, but the foreign public does not favor these works. But the tape of Sergei Bodrov Sr. “Mongol” won the hearts of Western viewers.
The plot tells about a boy named Temujin, who grows into Genghis Khan, the legendary conqueror and hero of the Mongolian epic. The epic historical blockbuster grossed over $20 million abroad, with the film causing a special stir in France and the United States. Also, “Mongol” received an Oscar nomination, but the Austrian work “The Counterfeiters” bypassed the finish line.
But “Brother” is not loved abroad. Foreigners did not like the soundtrack from the rock band “Nautilus Pompilius”, which sounded too intrusive. A lot of negative comments were collected by Sveta, the girlfriend of the protagonist. The audience did not understand what Danila generally found in this “gray” woman. Foreigners noted that the director tried to beautifully violate the laws of cinema, but he did not succeed in the new Pulp Fiction.
