★★★★ (4/5) "Feeling as emotionally strong as conceptually simple, “Arrhythmia” was handsomely crafted with powerful, thrilling scenes, showcasing not only a Russian medical predicament but perhaps even a worldly one. There’s optimism as a response to the imperfect world it describes, and genuine love seems to be the global solution." Filipe Freitas

Directed by Boris Khlebnikov Country: Russia Sad realities are usually desirable topics for observant films whose intention is to alert the world for specific circumstances. “ Arrhythmia ”, the sixth feature-length by Moscow-born filmmaker Boris Khlebnikov (“ Roads to Koktebel ”; “ A Long ...

Khlebnikov masterfully reminds us that, even with the best intentions, something or someone can always get in the way… and perhaps most often it's ourselves.

Russian filmmaker Boris Khlebnikov reflects on his homeland’s contemporary societal breakdown in this story of a professionally impeccable but personally irresponsible paramedic, whose already strained relationship with his doctor wife is pushed to the breaking point when the healthcare bureaucrac...

KARLOVY VARY 2017: We caught up with Russian director Boris Khlebnikov, who is in the Official Competition with his new film, Arrhythmia

Khlebnikov maintains a balance, weaving their story in and out of the more familiar procedural elements of the tale, as Oleg starts to kick against the prescriptive quotas handed down at work. There is serious social commentary here, about the idea of making life or death decisions fit into a predetermined time-slot and work woes trickling down through lives, but they are handled with a lightness of touch and humanism, the humour serving as a repeated shot of adrenaline to stop the stop the story wallowing too long. The prognosis for Oleg and Katya may be hard to determine but the film's heart is definitely in the right place.

There have been other tales of paramedics facing adversity in eastern Europe, most notably The Death Of Mr Lazarescu and Sofia's Last Ambulance, but while Boris Khlebnikov embeds his relationship drama firmly in this battle-zone backdrop - ensuring considerable friendly fire - it's the potential fai...

Variety

"Khlebnikov’s approachable movie takes contemporary urban Russia as its backdrop rather than its subject — instead treating the chronic condition that is modern life, which knows no borders".

A “Blue Valentine”-meets-“ER”-style drama title more remarkable for its lightness of touch than for its social comment or despairing self-examination.

THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

"Frenetic and kinetic, Alisher Khamidkhodzhaev's camerawork leans towards a documentary-style naturalism that gives Arrhythmia more of a televisual than cinematic look. The patchwork plot is inevitably episodic and a little repetitive, with a few too many scenes that add nothing to the drama besides showing how relationship breakups are often jagged, indecisive, cyclical affairs. Without getting into spoilers, Khlebnikov also serves up a glib resolution that feels a little too sweet and neat considering the vodka-soaked, blood-drenched carnage that preceded it. The wound has been healed for now, but it is hard to believe the stitches will hold."

A hard-drinking paramedic runs into deep trouble both at home and work in director Boris Khlebnikov's prize-winning Russian drama.
