Art house meets grind house in Cargo 200, Alexey Balabanov's morbidly compelling thriller set in the Soviet Union.

Regardless of intent, Cargo 200 is beautifully filmed and completely disturbing for its entire running time.

fresh:
Alexey Balabanov's gruesome little charmer of a black comedy -- a goth cousin to Delicatessen -- is set in the gray, decaying environs of Leninsk, essentially a more depressing version of Pittsburgh.
