Synopsis
The crime thriller Depression (1991), from Latvian director Alois Brench, is now available to watch online on iFILM. Through the port of Riga, a drug syndicate opens a fresh sea route to smuggle heroin into Russia.
Police catch a courier, but he's only the surface. Someone starts picking off the cartel's bosses one by one, and the investigation turns into a race — crack the network before the unknown avenger closes his bloody ledger. The detectives are left counting bodies. Donatas Banionis, Vladimir Menshov and Arnis Licitis head the cast.
Running close to three hours, the film comes from a veteran of Baltic noir at a moment when on-screen crime suddenly felt like the evening news. A slow, grim procedural for viewers who prefer plot over car chases. Stream Depression (1991) online on iFILM.
