Yea, i know there are movies which are about alcohol in a major way. Most of them are comedies and very good ones at that. But a movie about "two guys drinking the whole movie" is something i havent heard of.

I assume they have variations like 3 guys drinking in park, or 6 guys drinking in a pub, but that's the general idea. Any country that makes movies like that need to lay off the bottle

Nope, that sound more like British comedy. You have to be Russian to understand those comedies though. But Russians does have to lay off the bottle no doubt. One of my best friends who i knew since i can remember dropped out of college because he turned alcoholic

I'm Russian and I've never heard of it, it can't be that mainstream even if it does exist!

On the other hand, alcohol is a tragic achilles heal for many post Soviet people. Many people I knew fucked their lives because of it, and it's a real shame if Ignashov drank away the talent he had. It's partly because life has always been tough there, men drink, and their drinking makes things even more shiter... some kind of vicious circle really.

Nothing embarrassing about that, good luck with the next one

I saw a news peice here in Australia (on SBS) on the drinking problems in Russia, that's when the 'alco-movie' came up, they showed 'highlights' of a short film which consisted of two guys drinking in a bar without any actual dialogue... suffice to say, I didn't get it

I can give you the name of one 'Alco-movie', though I haven't seen it, 'A fate' by Andrey Silvestrov.

Also, that's a shame about Ignashov, he won't bounce back if he can't control his drinking.
