Sulphur

Lana Vlady

, 2020, 20 Min

An environmental thriller with a greenhouse effect. In one of the most polluted cities in Russia a policewoman is confronted with the strange manners of the suspect in a murder case. The interrogations oscillate between frosty power play and existentialist dialogue. Who or what is to blame here?

Norilsk, the northernmost city on earth, lives from nickel production. The environmental damage is considerable. The destruction of a landscape is followed by the destruction of souls. Based on a story by Dmitry Glukhovsky, director Lana Vlady stages a dystopian chamber play that focuses on the psychological tension between two charismatic female characters. Gradually the roles between the investigator and the suspect become blurred, as the focus of the prosecution shifts from the alleged perpetrator to the vastness of society, only to rebound from the reinforced concrete walls of the interrogation cell and establish itself as a constant doubt in the mind.
