Art house meets grind house in Cargo 200, Alexey Balabanov's morbidly compelling thriller set in the Soviet Union.
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Overview
While returning to Leningrad from a visit to his brother, Professor Artyom's car breaks down and he finds assistance at an isolated farmhouse occupied by Alexey, his wife, a Vietnamese laborer, and a stranger who wanders around the farm. When his car is repaired, Artyom leaves, drunk on moonshine, and students Valera and Angelika arrive. After Valera gets drunk, the stranger abducts Angelika.

Regardless of intent, Cargo 200 is beautifully filmed and completely disturbing for its entire running time.

Alexey Balabanov's gruesome little charmer of a black comedy -- a goth cousin to Delicatessen -- is set in the gray, decaying environs of Leninsk, essentially a more depressing version of Pittsburgh.
