Ward No. 6 2009

Directed by Karen Shakhnazarov and Aleksandr Gornovsky · Drama · 83 min

Simultaneously nihilistic and heartening, Ward No. 6 is based on a story by Chekov, in which a psychiatric doctor becomes a patient in his own asylum. Updated to contemporary Russia, the film is a cocktail of anxieties and riddles, showcasing how easy it is to become what we fear most.
