Synopsis
"Chudotvorets" ("The Wonder-Worker", 2014) is a Russian drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Dmitry Konstantinov assembled a strong cast — Filipp Yankovsky, Fyodor Bondarchuk, Oksana Fandera — for a story set at the peak of late-Soviet fascination with the paranormal.
Inside a classified lab at the Institute of Information Technologies, scientists are quietly studying people with extrasensory abilities. That is where Nikolai Arbenin and Viktor Stavitsky first meet. What begins as a rivalry between two men over the same woman turns into something the lab was never equipped to handle: a confrontation between two people whose abilities appear to be genuine.
The time is the very end of 1988, when psychics sold out concert halls and performed live on state television. As the Soviet system lurches toward collapse, the duel between Arbenin and Stavitsky reaches its breaking point. Watch "Chudotvorets" (2014) online on iFILM.
