Orlean (Russian: Орлеан) is a 2015 Russian film directed by Andrey Proshkin, screenplay by Yuri Arabov.
The film participated in the competition program of the XXXVII Moscow International Film Festival.[1] For her starring role, Elena Lyadova was awarded the prize Silver George for Best Actress.[2]
The small town of Orlean, located on the shores of the salt lake in the Altai steppe.In the hospital room where after yet another abortion the local beauty Lidka lies, appears a strange gentleman who identifies himself as Pavlyuchek, executioner. His questions drive Lidka to hysterics and she runs for help to her friend surgeon Rudik. In a changed appearance the clerk appears in the apartment of Rudik, where lies his paralyzed father in a bad condition.
In this literature-centric and one hundred percent acting film, given its specific genre, it was easy to fall into the slapstick, as in tartare. But in this lies the director's courage and skill of Andrey Proshkin.[3]
