The Suicide (Russian: Самоубийца|Samoubiytsa) is an 1990 Soviet black comedy film directed by Valery Pendrakovsky,[2] adaptation of the play of the same name by Nikolai Erdman.[3] [4]
Film critic Alexander Fedorov noted:
Valery Pendrakovsky is not one of the elite of Russian directing, but having the classical dramaturgy of Nikolai Erdman as a literary basis and having collected a bouquet of famous actors, he quite convincingly created on the screen a phantasmagoric world of a universal communal apartment in which every creature lives in a couple.[5]
