Gogol. The Beginning Trailers

The year 1829. Nikolay Gogol, a young Third Section clerk, is desperate: his own books seem shallow and mediocre, so he keeps buying entire print runs just to burn them all. He is suffering from violent epileptic seizures and struggles to keep on working. Investigator Yakov Guro accidentally witnesses one such fit and realizes that Gogol's visions contain clues that could help solve actual crimes. Together, Gogol and Guro take on a particularly weird and baffling case that brings them to a small village of Dikanka, where everyone has a huge secret to hide.

Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
dashulka-76217 I watched this film at home, when TV3 was showing it during these winter holidays. And I REALLY liked it very much. It's not a usual film. It's a TV series shown in cinemas and, to be honest, that's a great idea. Sitting among all the people who came there to watch it too helps to create a unique atmosphere. All the actors are perfect for the roles, I liked Oleg Menshikov most of all))) I advice you to watch it))
naurimas-1 The attempt to interpret life of the Russian writer Gogol paying attention to clerk's adventures in Russia, central Ukraine.The plot is interesting, full of suspense related to mysterious and mystic murders. The episodes of the film are related to jumps in time and links to dreams of the film's main hero.Many humorous episodes related to Russian and Ukrainian lifestyle of the 19th century.8/10
