The Plague Doctor plays on the crooked judicial system to turn society over to his side. This leaves Igor and his new sidekick Dima to try and put a stop to him before it’s too late. Unfortunately this also causes Igor to become shunned by his own police force after some rather heavy-handed methods.Ĭontrasting this though is the rise of a mystery masked vigilante known as the plague doctor. As this vigilante starts killing, society turns to his side given his promise to take out the upper echelons of society. The result is a refreshingly original and wholly familiar take on the genre.Īt the center of this is police detective Igor Grom who’s synonymous with managing to prevent crimes through any means necessary.

Plague Doctor is the main antihero, and the moment of his appearance in the opener is in fact his first appearance in a movie. In addition, at the very last moment, we came up with the idea to completely depersonalize a man by adding a mask to his face. The main character of this scene is also a metaphorical, collective image - a bored fat man tired of life, mired in luxury and debauchery. We decided to create a classic, elegant and simple, recognizable image of the ancient Themis. Themis, one of the main images of the opener, is the top of our megalithic sculpture. The next step was to turn the main idea into a full-fledged scenario with a storyboard, to think over the action, characters, camera angles and the mechanics of camera movement.
"It seemed to us that this idea wittily and broadly reflected the main plot of the film, and so with minor changes, we stuck to it until the end of the production." Case Study The sculpture symbolizes a sick society, as a consequence of suffering injustice, it exudes a black liquid and this liquid generates a mirror image of this world-sculpture, distorted, turned upside down, the crown of which is now the Plague Doctor - the personification of perverted, sick justice. The idea was to take all the images described in the director's brief and combine them into one sculpture, the crown of which will be Themis.
They wanted to avoid just a "contemplative" narrative by showing only beautiful spectacular symbols, so we needed to find an idea and to subordinate everything to a single plan and dramaturgical logic. This was not an imposed obligation, but only offered as a starting point. Petersburg architectural heritage, as well as scandalous wealth and luxury. These were images somehow connected with the narrative of the film - the statue of Themis, the dump, callous construction sites against the background of the St. Dobro CCS carefully studied the images suggested by the director, using them as a starting point in our brainstorming.
