Petrov’s Flu at Glasgow Film Theatre

25 – 28 February,2022
From controversial Russian director Kirill Serebrennikov, this Cannes prize-winner is a deadpan, hallucinatory romp through post-Soviet Russia, based on the novel The Petrovs In and Around the Flu by Alexey Salnikov. The film details a surreal and fantastic day in the life of a comic book artist and his family.
With the city in the throes of a flu epidemic, the Petrov family struggles through yet another day in a country where the past is never past, the present is a booze-fueled, icy fever dream of violence and tenderness, and where – beneath layers of the ordinary – things turn out to be quite extraordinary.
