The Government Inspector

Movie · 2h 48m

Starring Konstantin Raikin, Timofey Tribuntsev, Maryana Spivak, Alena Razzhivina

Yury Butusov’s final Moscow production is this multi-award-winning work based on Nikolai Gogol’s “Government Inspector.” The play deftly delves into the dual impossibilities of both accepting reality and escaping from it. As with many of Butusov’s stagings, chaos and pathos are seamlessly interwoven, with art presented as both freeing and healing.
