(Aleksey Balabanov, Russia, 2007. 89 min.)

Set against the backdrop of the Soviet Union's quagmire of a war in Afghanistan, Cargo 200 throws a brutal light on the moral implosion of government, society, and personal relationships in early 1980s USSR. Both a comedy and a horror film, it is not for the faint of heart.
