Ugly Swans by Konstantin Lopushansky Wins Ravenna Nightmare Film Festival

Ugly Swans by Konstantin Lopushansky Wins Ravenna Nightmare Film Festival

Konstantin Lopushanskys screen version of the novel Gadkie lebedi (Ugly Swans) by the Strugatsky Brothers has taken the Grand-Prix of the Ravenna Nightmare Film Festival (Italy).
      
      The out-of-the-way work by Konstantin Lopushansky, a gifted follower of Andrei Tarkovsky, had already appeared at a number of Russian new cinema festivals.
      
      The film, philosophical rather than horror, features a ghostly town with a boarding school for gifted children, who are taught by strange creatures, whether aliens or mutants. The town undergoes unexplainable change of climate, which reminds of the Deluge.
      
      The main character, the writer Victor Banev (Gregory Hlady) has to undertake his own investigation, because his daughter is among the pupils of the odd school.
