Prostye veshchi / Simple Things (2007)
Simple Things is Popegrebski’s solo debut. His past as a psychology student is easy to be seen in every movie scene, each one equally oriented to explore human relations through a documentary-like moving camera and through Popegrebski’s obsession with detailed facial expressions. Afflicted by a sense of failure that deprives of meaning every daily interaction, the” everymen” Sergei Maslov is depicted in a static period of his life. The meeting with an old actor changes his idea of friendship.
