Like Fritz Lang, David Fincher or Bong Joon Ho before him, talented debut filmmaker Lado Kvataniya uses the concept of police detective vs serial killer for an excitingly stylised, macabre and haunting narrative, that ultimately revolves around the identity of an era: in this case, the late 1980s Soviet Union. With Glasnost and the end of communist rule, the West also learned of the (unsurprising) fact that there were serial killers in Russia too – the most notorious case probably that of Andrei Chikatilo, nicknamed the Rostov Ripper, or the Russian Hannibal Lecter.

苏联解体后那个“疯狂的九十年代”,在俄罗斯北方一座工业城市。主人公伊万是一名雅库特人(少数族裔),因为20多年前那场不光彩的茹侵阿富汗战争留下了脑震荡,现在是一家锅炉房里的工人。一位当地的黑道大佬是伊万从前的战友,常常利用锅炉房来毁尸灭迹,“没关系,他们都是一些坏人”,如此,他安慰伊万说。但直到有一天,当Skryabin的女儿因抢走了这位朋友女儿的男友而被送进锅炉时,伊万才开始醒悟。战争并没有结束。 影片是一部极端残酷的暴力现实主义作品,可谓延续了阿历克塞·巴拉巴诺夫一贯大胆黑色的风格。他执导的《兄弟》、《畸零与色情》等片让主流媒体难以接受,克里姆林宫最喜欢的导演Nikita Mikhalkov(《毒太阳》)也曾出面攻击称《兄弟》的主人公“充满破坏欲”,“荼毒青少年的思想”。不过在2010年底俄国影评人们颁出的“白象”奖中,《火炉工》摘得了最佳影片、最佳导演在内四项大奖,成为最大赢家。
