美学绅士 Господин оформитель (1988) 【影片介绍】
Famous decorator, maker of mannequins Platon Andreevich (beautiful play of Victor Avilov) has been long trying to compete with God wishing to create a chef-d'oeuvre, over which time would have no power. To decorate a show window of a jewelry shop, he picks a model - young girl in her final stage of tuberculosis. It is clear that the girl will soon die, therefore great is the decorator's amazement, when, after 6 years, he encounters that very young lady who is presented to him as a wife of a rich merchant whose house he is supposed to decorate. The rich merchant (M.Kozakov) is dead set to learn more about his wife's past, to which, he suspects, Platon Andreevich holds a key. This search after truth, however, turns out to be a deadly quest for the merchant: he dies a mysterious death, after having lost all his fortune to the decorator over a card table. Well, as you might have understood, this lady is not the former model, whose neglected grave Platon Andreevich finally locates at one of the Saint-Petersburg cemeteries. It is the waxen mannequin who got the life of its own, having turned into the antipode of its meek original. It is now clear that the decorator is doomed to fall victim to his Frankensteinian monster - the feeling of the inevitable death is enhanced by the beautiful, somewhat muffled recitation of the poem "Don Juan".
正如片名，男主角是不折不扣的美学绅士，执迷于自己的黑暗美学追求，和所有极端艺术家一样狂妄狂热自大，自诩只有造物神是唯一对手，他倾注心血塑造出的人偶有了生命复活过来与其游戏。但最后如同其他极端艺术家的下场一样，他没有成功，而这些异端之物注定会消失于历史之中伴随着影片结尾那森森的古宅和飘来的幽怨气息的墨绿色纱的中渐渐淡祛。
片中大量引用了超现实主义画派和象征主义画派的画做，如布雷东、吕西安、奥迪龙·雷东、Franz von Stuck等等。
而影片的表现手法正如同超现实主义的特点——“无意识和潜意识”强调梦幻的万能“生命永恒”的“彼岸”，只有用梦幻纠正现实，改变现实，才能推倒通往“彼岸”的墙，达到神妙的超现实的境界。也如同象征主义的精髓“不满足于描绘事物的明确的线条和固定的轮廓，并不是要使读者理解诗人究竟要说什么，而是要使读者似懂非懂，恍惚若有所悟；使读者体会到此中有深意。有着扑朔迷离的美感。”一般 同时片中的美工道具借鉴了大量的新古典，新艺术时期的艺术品，台词则受到了拜伦《唐璜》的启发塑造出的人物也如同拜伦作品中的人物一样有着孤傲、狂热、浪漫、孤独的气质同时也充满了反抗精神。这样一部诗意，猎奇，阴暗晦涩又象征的电影美学绅士映入屏幕。
最后，故事选在圣彼得堡也应该有其心意，说圣彼得堡是俄罗斯的异端之城也不为过，其体现的是西欧的自由与开放，而鲜有俄罗斯民族性色彩，在守旧派的眼中属于异己，是对民族精神和信仰的公然背叛。而在那些文化开放力量的心中，圣彼得堡大概是心中永远的失落之城。[这段引于pazuzu对本片的影评。]
