Ilja Chrzjanovski / RU, 2004 / 126 min.
Ilya Khrzhanovsky based his feature debut on a screenplay by Vladimir Sorokin, a radical author who takes a scalpel to Russian society. 4 gives an absurdist/alienating vision of the chaos in Russia following perestroika.
A businessman, a piano tuner and a prostitute. They meet in an anonymous bar, in anonymous surroundings. They drink. They talk. In a series of ever-shifting monologues, in which the three of them constantly take on different identities.
