Vitaly Morozov finally watches 'Ravensik,' a 2024 domestic film about the 90s that defies typical portrayals of that era.

The episode begins with host Vitaly Morozov introducing 'Ravensik,' a 2024 Russian film he was hesitant to watch but ultimately enjoyed. He describes it as a domestic nostalgic film about the 90s that differs from typical portrayals of that era. The film is directed by Fyodor Kudryavtsev and features actors Anna Mikhalkova, Alexander Yatsenko, and Danil Spivakovsky. Morozov explains the mockumentary format, where the film is shot artistically to resemble a documentary. The narrative centers on Grisha, a 20-year-old expelled from university and abandoned by his girlfriend, who visits his grandparents in Samara. The film uses a screen-live style, presenting content as if from a phone or laptop. Grisha finds old photos and videotapes, discovering a man who turns out to be his dead father, whom he never knew. He creates a documentary about his father using these videos, which show his father's youth in the late 90s. Morozov notes the use of deepfakes to rejuvenate the actors, creating authentic VHS-style footage that impressed him. He compares this to Martin Scorsese's techniques in 'The Irishman.' The film captures the spirit of the late 90s and 2000s, including details like old computers and startup offices. Morozov reflects on how the film contrasts Grisha's modern life with his father's experiences, highlighting differences in youth between then and now. He mentions that Grisha's father founded a startup and earned money, while Grisha faces lesser troubles like university expulsion. The film avoids the violent themes common in 90s portrayals, instead focusing on laughter, friendship, and bright moments. Morozov concludes by recommending the film, noting it is rated 18+ and released in 2024.
