Oh Brother...how awesome...

An interesting, and much more contemporary film, brother served to be quite nthe entertaining piece of gangster cinema, one set with Russian mobsters, as opposed to the Italian ones we here in America are used to. The beginning of the film, his detention after walking into the shot of a film, is an odd start to an otherwise straight forward movie. The film chronicles Danilia in his travel to see his brother, after his mother has become fed up with him. Dan soon finds that his brother has become a mobster, and is more than willing to help in his violent lifestyle. The filming style is one that is radically different from what we have seen before this point. as time passes, I suppose, the camera resolution becomes clearer and cleaner, moving away from they "home camera" look that the last film seemed to have. The use of music is also an interesting one. Rather than use a traditional score, a soundtrack of what sounds like contemporary Russian rock music, the kind enjoyed by Dan so much, is played in the background of almost every scene.
