Alien Girl
A taut crime thriller by first time feature film director.
Alien Girl starring Nataliya Romanycheva
In his feature film debut, director Anton Bormatov directs Alien Girl a taut crime thriller which is also a part of the Russian Film Week series. It’s based on the graphic novel of the same name and the film’s title, a sly reference to Ridley Scott’s classic, describes Angela to a “t” – a creature who spits acid and whose very essence is about destruction.
The setting is the Ukraine 1990′s amidst the violence of two rival gangs. While in prison in Prague, one of the gang leaders orders four of his top hit men to track down Angela, aka “Alien Girl”, and hold her hostage before she squeals on him and cuts a deal with the police. She herself is a sister to one of the gang members and knows way too much.
But what starts off as a war between rival gang members and all those standing in their way, soon becomes a game of manipulation, seduction and betrayal as Angela plays each member off against one other, takes them on a brutal journey through Prague’s gritty, graffiti filled underworld, before becoming the ultimate victor.
