Not another interminable remake of a remake of an adaptation, The Fly/Mukha only deals with the mutations of the heart. In this quirky Russian family drama, director Vladimir Kott captures the dank, inhospitable corners where life sometimes abandons us.
Fyodor Mukhin, played by Alexey Kravchenko with a rakish charm, bears a striking resemblance to Daniel Craig. However, his exploits are far more pedestrian than James Bond’s. Fyodor lives an intransigent life as a truck driver in communion with his fellow road warriors, unwilling to look ahead or settle down. Drinks, smokes, and prostitutes are the constant comforts these men return to on their attenuated byways.
