Directed by Boris Khlebnikov, Alexei Popogrebsky

Starring Igor Chernevich, Alexandr Ilyin, Agrippina Steklova, Gleb Puskepalis, Vladimir Kucherenko

The Russian writing/directing team of Boris Khlebnikov and Alexei Popogrebsky makes their feature debut with the road movie Koktebel. Starting in Moscow, a widowed alcoholic father (Igor Chernevich) and his 11-year-old son (Gleb Puskepalis) set out on foot headed for the Crimean town of Koktebel. Along the way, they meet up with grumpy recluse Mikhael (Vladimir Kucherenko), who ends up shooting the father during a drunken brawl. Luckily, local doctor Xenia (Agrippina Steklova) fixes him up, leading to a romance. The father stays with her, while the son finishes the journey by himself. Koktebel was shown at the 2003 Karlovy Vary Film Festival. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

"I really disliked this movie. Granted, my expectations and reasons for requesting it were slightly inconsistent with the average review – I was interested in the Black Sea landscape – I knew that 'Roads to Koktebel' was a road movie, but even at that, it failed to hold my interest.As a fan of road movies, from 'Harold and Maude' on down to Wim Wenders' 'Kings of the Road' it is my experience that this genre lives and dies on the strength " [More]

"Writing about this disc would have proven to be a far simpler journey, had all of the Roads to Koktebel, trod upon by a homeless father and son on a sojourn through the lonely expanses of Russia, not crossed against my own personal Jetstream to Orlando and Roads to Anaheim Via Similarly Barren and Somewhat Dull Routes Through Idaho, Oregon, Nevada and California. You see, this disc arrived just as I was returni " [More]

"Roads to Koktebel plays like the sequel to The Bicycle Thief transplanted in Russia. The once entirely trusting son has now come to regard his father as an incompetent loser yet sticks with him because he knows no other way. A few more years under him, the boy is old enough to know most of what’s going on and he can communicate with the father on a more adult level.&n " [More]

"Starting to notice a trend in the four movies I've received as part of the 'Spout Maven's' group. Each of the movies has involved a young boy, set adrift, abandoned, neglected by adult foibles and shortcomings beyond his power to either influence or comprehend. In "Clean" it was drugs and show business, in "The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things" it was a whole myriad of child neglect nightmare scenarios, in "Mother Mine" it was WWII and the foster " [More]

Roads to Koktebel
by csprague in Spout Mavens
"Roads to Koktebel After his wife's death and the loss of his job, an aerodynamics engineer sets off from Moscow with his 11 year old son for his sister's house in Koktebel by the Black Sea. With no money or means of transport, they drift through the expansive and mesmeric landscapes of Russia at the mercy of chance. The father is content to meander as he tries to rebuild his self- " [More]
