Cargo 200
Directed by Aleksei Balabanov
Produced by CTB Film Company
A brutally dark, visceral thriller about sadism and institutional corruption in post-Soviet Russia, built on graphic violence and psychological torment.
While returning to Leningrad from a visit to his brother, Professor Artyom's car breaks down and he finds assistance at an isolated farmhouse occupied by Alexey, his wife, a Vietnamese laborer, and a stranger who wanders around the farm. When his car is repaired, Artyom leaves, drunk on moonshine, and students Valera and Angelika arrive. After Valera gets drunk, the stranger abducts Angelika.
