Playing the Victim (film)

Playing the Victim Russian is a Russian 2006 black comedy film.

Throughout the film we see the reconstructions taped by Lyuda from the perspective of her camera, in which the captain has the accused recreate their actions step by step. These scenes are often riddled with absurdly comical situations that contrast the grim nature of the work being done. Valya does not seem to take anything seriously, which irritates the captain, amuses the sergeant, and infuriates his unclestepfather.As the movie progresses, the strain of work causes the captain to lose his temper. This culminates in a 5minute profane rant about the state of Russias new generation and football team. Later on, Valya feeds poisoned Japanese food to his family and recently pregnant girlfriend. In the recreation, three other people play the victims while Valya is the accused. When asked what he did as they were dying, he says that he was taking everything in so that he could accurately reconstruct what happened. In the final scene, Valya has a flashback where his father throws him out of a rowboat to teach him to swim, an event mentioned earlier in the film by his mother. ........
