Reviews
"Elaborate (television) political thriller which, as an exciting genre film, picks up on the (power) relationships in current Russia, which are still shaped by old structures."
“This opulently equipped, literally frosty two-part series was directed by the hardy old master Joseph Vilsmaier (Stalingrad, Nanga Parbat) based on a script by Rolf-René Schneider (Murder in good company) . Sometimes temperatures of minus 20 degrees prevailed during the shooting in Saint Petersburg - nasty conditions for the actors. Especially the petite Katharina Böhm alias Katherina Wagner suffered from the cold. The Russian winter weather, meanwhile, made for great shots, which only partially manage to push the stenciled plot into the background. "
