The Blissful

"The Blissful" (2008) — a Russian drama by director Sergei Strusovsky — is available to watch online on iFILM. Seventeen years of one woman's life, 88 minutes on screen.

Alexandra comes to Moscow as a teenager with two plans: enroll in an art college and fall in love. The city gives her neither. Karina Razumovskaya plays her without sentimentality — Alexandra doesn't grow bitter, doesn't adapt, stays exactly who she is. The world calls that naïve. The film calls it something else. Danil Strakhov and Ada Rogovtseva co-star. Stream "The Blissful" on iFILM.
