That Summer I Got Accepted to University

About This Movie

In 'That Summer I Got Accepted to University', you get this raw, almost haunting vibe, set in a Russian countryside that feels both expansive and claustrophobic. The air rifle scenes, stark and uncomfortable, set the tone for a friendship strained under the weight of youthful recklessness. Anton and Zhenya's bond starts unraveling, and it’s pretty fascinating how the director captures that tension. There’s a real nostalgic depth when Anton's father reminisces about his childhood, adding layers to the narrative. The pacing is deliberate, almost languid, which really draws you into the atmosphere, letting you soak up those quiet yet charged moments. The performances feel genuine, like watching life unfold rather than a crafted story.
