Piter FM

I was pretty entertained by the film "Piter FM". Granted it was very predictable, and more could have been done to build a connection with the characters but the imagery and cinematography more than made up for that. I felt as though the director just kinda showed and told us about the problems the characters were facing but was unable to build a connection between them and the viewer. This is especially the case with Maksim, he seems rather unemotional throughout the entire film in my opinion. Also I find it difficult to believe that if Masha and Maksim were to finally get together they would last at all, simply because it seems as if Masha is longing for a more fun loving man and what was shown of Maksim was anything but fun loving. The imagery though was amazing. It really made St. Petersburg seem like a paradise. At times I found myself forgetting that they were in St. Petersburg and thinking they were in Paris or a place with similar romantic mystique. All in all it was an entertaining film but definetly not a classic.
