Russian movies Fedor Bondarchuk insists, his new 3D alien invasion sci-fi movie Attraction, which opens in Russia and China later this month, should not be seen as an allegory about the currently vexed relations between Russia and the West.
There have been plenty of movies in which UFOs land in Los Angeles, London or even Cape Town but Bondarchuk is confident this is the first time that invaders from outer space have decamped in Moscow - and it is certainly the first time they have been filmed in big screen IMAX doing so.
The director’s 2013 film Stalingrad was also about Russians dealing with invaders. In that Second World War epic, the first ever Russian movie shot in IMAX, the unwelcome visitors were the Germans. The film, made with substantial Government support, was one of the biggest home-grown box office hits in Russian film history. It tapped into an episode that has huge emotional resonance for Russian audiences: the city’s stand against the German army which caused untold suffering and bloodshed but helped change the course of the war. The aliens, though, are a slightly different proposition.The Russian state has become increasingly interested in the film industry in recent years. In 2014, the culture minister called for a cap on foreign movies, and in March his ministry released a list of movie themes which it would support. These included family values, military glory and “Crimea and Ukraine in the 1,000 year history of the Russian state”. It’s also a big business – Stalingrad, a war film, earned over $50m worldwide last year. 6158
