Фильм-спектакль по одноименной пьесе Дж.Патрика в постановке Государственного академического театра имени Моссовета. Обладательница десятимиллионного состояния, пожилая дама миссис Сэвидж попадает в лечебницу для душевнобольных, которая находится в маленьком городе, в штате Массачусетс. В «Тихую обитель», так называется это учреждение, ее поместили приемные дети. Эти высокопоставленные обеспеченные люди не могут пережить того, что их мачеха безрассудно тратит деньги на благотворительные нужды, да еще собирается учредить «Фонд Счастья», чтобы помогать людям осуществлять их заветные желания. Надеясь на помощь врачей и персонала лечебницы они хотят отнять у мачехи ценные бумаги, которые она спрятала неизвестно где, но проявляют при этом гораздо меньше здравого смысла, чем пациенты «Тихой обители»...

Days of Eclipse
Aleksandr Sokurov
Aleksei Ananishnov, Eskender Umarov
This bleak late soviet-era drama follows the career of Malyanov, a young medical school graduate who has been sent to work in Turkmenia. Here he runs into a hodge-podge of people of differing ethnicities, all of them victims of the government's earlier mania for relocating and eliminating whole ethnic groups and classes of people. These desperately unhappy people are unable to find any pleasure in this diverse companionship, but instead are antagonistic to it, and often resort to desperate measures in their doomed attempts to ease their pain.

Мегрэ и человек на скамейке
Скорбное бесчувствие
Aleksandr Sokurov
Ramaz Chkhikvadze, Alla Osipenko
The action in this lavishly produced film takes place at an oddly ark-shaped mansion during World War I, and in spirit (although not in story) it reflects the play which inspired it, the ferociously antiwar Heartbreak House by George Bernard Shaw. A large group of family and friends have gathered at this country house to dance, drink, and converse. Their conversation, in particular, is adorned with erudite literary references and quotations. Despite their apparent refinement, their preoccupations are simple: sex and violence. Disquieting images break the tranquility of the vacationers' inappropriate idyll: some of these include documentary footage of starving African children, images (both real and re-enacted) of George Bernard Shaw going about his daily life, and a corpse coming to life on an autopsy table, only to cheapen that miracle by scolding a group of women. The music used in the film ironically points to its disturbing message and is uniformly anachronistic.
