Strangely enough, the review even recalls my first discussion with Hatter on his Matineecast! Its strange how time flies ...
Here is a little more depth on the issue:
The stronger link is the sequence in the sauna as Nikolai is mistaken for Kirill and is nearly murdered - he is forced to fight for himself. Mannerism was a period in art history that followed the Rennaissance and preceded the Baroque period. Michelangelo was one of - if not, the first of the - Mannerist artists.

Very nice review Simon,
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame this isn't getting any comments. Keep up the good work - and people will come around.
Good luck!
3 PINK Revision - 11/12/ EXT. A STREET NEAR BRICK LANE - EVENING 1 It s 5.30pm in late December and rain is pouring. The scant Christmas decorations are hanging limp in the rain. A young Turk (EKREM) runs through the rain with a Turkish newspaper held over his head. He ducks into a traditional barber s shop called Ozim s. 2 INT. OZIM S BARBER SHOP - EVENING 2 The shutters are drawn. OZIM (a plump middle-aged Turk) is cutting the hair of the last customer of the day (SOYKA). Soyka is a Chechen, well-groomed, wearing a sharp suit beneath the barber s gown. During the conversation we glimpse distinctive eagle- and star-shaped tattoos on Soyka s arms and hands. Ozim and Soyka are chatting as Ekrem enters. Soyka speaks with a Russian accent. OZIM Guvenilmez... daginik... bloody kids, you know... he says - but Amca it s Christmas?... Christmas! We re Islam! SOYKA Oi, how much are you taking off? OZIM Christmas! So I said to him... alisverise cimac. The kid s sixteen... Ozim brushes some hair off the customer s shoulder and Ozim finally acknowledges Ekrem, who is shivering and wet near to the door. Ekrem turns the Open sign to Closed. OZIM (CONT'D) They don t want to work do they. Shicma... EKREM (hesitantly interrupting) Uncle Ozim... We see for the first time that Ekrem is shaking with fear as well as cold.
