Synopsis
Cursed Days (2020) is a Russian comedy series you can watch online on iFILM, built from six separate stories by six directors — Andrey Boltenko, Irina Vilkova, Vladimir Epifantsev, Maxim Pezhemsky, Pyotr Buslov, and Roman Volobuyev.
Each episode drops a different character into the self-isolation era. An entomologist's trip to a Thai massage ends in two weeks of unplanned quarantine. An opposition blogger clicks repost once and gets an immediate call from his brother at city hall. A traffic cop builds a remote bribery scheme to keep his family's rib-eye-and-sushi lifestyle intact. A debt collector sends muscle to collect what's owed. Anna Mikhalkova, Timofey Tribuntsev, Maria Mashkova, Svetlana Kamynina, and Vladimir Epifantsev headline the ensemble. Rated 18+.
The title borrows from Bunin's 1920 diary of the Russian Revolution. A hundred years separating the two events — and 2020 made that gap feel uncomfortably thin. Stream all episodes of Cursed Days on iFILM.
