If things haven\u2019t been plain sailing since then \u2014 the revived case ended in a suspended sentence last year, confining the director to his home country \u2014 he has at least been free to roam, work and film in Russia. Cue \u201cPetrov\u2019s Flu,\u201d Serebrennikov\u2019s first feature since his release, and a consummate answer to the admittedly niche question of just what kind of film one makes after such a period of confinement: one that moves as freely and recklessly as possible, untethered by short-leash rules of time, space or storytelling.<\/p>\n<p>Tearing at a mile a minute through an extravagantly surreal vision of Yekaterinburg in the maddening grip (or grippe, if you will) of a flu epidemic, \u201cPetrov\u2019s Flu\u201d is a rowdy, exhilarating return to top form for Serebrennikov. His last film, the eccentric rock biopic \u201cLeto,\u201d may have marked his first time in competition at Cannes (this, sure enough, is his second) but wasn\u2019t among his more kinetic works. His latest more than makes up the difference: Unprepared viewers may get whiplash from its rollicking escalation of scenes and violent switch-ups in perspective and narrative focus, which nonetheless all work toward a clear metaphoric expression of deranged <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> unrest and negligent leadership. The accidental resonance of its pandemic storyline might up commercial interest in what is nonetheless a challenging, acquired-taste proposition: Some will thrill to its fevered brilliance, while others may feel they\u2019re being waterboarded with Smirnoff.<\/p>\n<p>In a story that ostensibly spans a day \u2014 but also zooms elastically through memories and dreams \u2014 our weary shepherd through much of the heaving insanity is jaded mechanic and comic book artist Petrov, marvelously played by Semyon Serzin with a slumped, hangdog demeanor that doesn\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ear to have shifted in years. It is New Year\u2019s Eve, and we encounter him on a sardine-packed tram, swaddled in muddy, puffy winter layers, coughing to a degree that could make a COVID-era audience physically recoil from the screen. \u201cYou look like you have cancer,\u201d a fellow passenger unhelpfully observes.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just flu, he insists, and that certainly doesn\u2019t make him special. Everyone in this shapeless, luckless, far-from-Moscow city seems to have it in some form or another: Illness has apparently been absorbed into the very fabric of daily life in this world, just an extra layer of society\u2019s pervasive discontent. There are no masks here, much less any social distancing, as Serebrennikov crams the frame with clashing human activity. Petrov trudges through slushy, bustling streets to work, repeatedly distracted and waylaid by conversation and conflict; in the background, passing pedestrians have wild sidewalk seizures, while groups of civilians are incidentally gunned down without comment. This is all normal: Who has time to complain about a cold?<\/p>\n<p>Across town, his wife Petrova (Chulpan Khamatova) appears to make a more sedate living as a librarian, overseeing a poetry discussion group \u2014 until the meeting turns absurdly abusive, upon which Petrova\u2019s eyes turn black, her body forgets gravity, and she beats the offending party to a pulp. While her husband sketches comics in his meager spare hours, he may or may not be aware that he\u2019s married to an actual, avenging superhero, taking down violent men where necessary \u2014 though of course she, too, has the flu. As a couple, they\u2019re more ordinary together than apart, fussing and bickering in the matchbox apartment they share with their young son \u2014 the only person excited, apparently, by the prospect of a new year, as his parents strain to get him to a chintzy neighborhood celebration.<\/p>\n<p>The party, as is Russian custom, sees hordes of kids donning costumes and jostling to exchange germs and gifts, doled out by adults dressed as Father Frost and the Snowmaiden. It\u2019s a less surreal set-piece than most in \u201cPetrov\u2019s Flu,\u201d if no less cacophonous and abrasive, and it proves the unlikely portal into Serebrennikov\u2019s most radical and unexpected pivot \u2014 as the period and characters change, Vladislav Opelyants\u2019 gangrenous, vertigo-inducing lensing turns to warm, moody monochrome, and another film altogether takes charge for an extended period. How these two films and dimensions interlock is the most satisfying of the script\u2019s various mini-puzzles to solve, not least because the eventual overlap makes for an uncharacteristically tender spot in an otherwise aggressively hard-headed exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Adapting Alexey Salnikov\u2019s locally celebrated novel \u201cThe Petrovs In and Around the Flu,\u201d Serebrennikov hits on a relentless freight-train register for the film that draws influence from the dense grotesquerie of certain Russian literature and the heightened, thinly veiled political satire of his own theater work at Moscow\u2019s Gogol Center. The screenplay doesn\u2019t get specific about its anti-government targets, and doesn\u2019t need to: This is a work driven by swollen, all-encompassing, sometimes hilarious fury at a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> place and way of living, one its director is currently legally forbidden from leaving. Through its heady stew of impulses and influences, however, \u201cPetrov\u2019s Flu\u201d is cinema to the breathless last, riding the camera like a bucking horse as single shots carry us between locations, eras and states of mind \u2014 the thrilling, messy work of a man released.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
