About This Movie

Кукольный дом (2025) dives deep into the 1980s Moscow film scene with a layered narrative about the chaos behind the making of 'Nora', which is adapted from Ibsen's work. The atmosphere is thick with tension, reflecting the cultural struggles of the time. The pacing ebbs and flows, much like the tumultuous emotions of the characters, especially our Leningrad actress stepping into the role of a lifetime. Practical effects are used thoughtfully, adding a tactile feel to the production design that feels authentic to the era. Performances are raw and resonate with the struggles of identity and societal expectations, making it distinctive in its exploration of personal versus artistic conflict. It's a fascinating glimpse into the interplay of art and life.
