She runs her life like a hostile takeover—and she's the only shareholder.
Elena Nikolaevna Luzhina is an iron businesswoman in her vivid manifestation. In her life, everything has its own order, place and purpose. She controls everything, always gets what she demands, pays for everything, does not tolerate objections, knows that she is called a bitch and seems proud of it.
Acting
Rednikova's surgical precision in every withering glance.
Writing
Dialogue that stings like a performance review from hell.

Director
Vladimir Shevelkov
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Post-Soviet cinema's obsession with 'New Russian' business culture—Elena is basically every 2000s oligarch fantasy in heels.
Director Shevelkov largely worked in television; this theatrical release vanished so completely it has no English reviews online.
