If you are a fan of Sherlock Holmes

If you are a fan of Sherlock Holmes stories and you want to see an interesting variation of it, then you must see In The Moscow Slums. It is adapted from the Arthur Conan Doyle's story "The Sign of the Four," But uses characters from Russia's actual history, journalist Vladimir Gilyarovsky and theater director Konstantin Stanislavski. It is mostly set in a notorious area of Moscow called the Khitrovka district to replace the Whitechapel area of London. The art decoration in this film can only be described as stunning. The real Khitrovka district was demolished and replaced with Gorky Park years ago. So they recreated it for the film. Had I not been told this, I would have assumed it was shot entirely on locations that had been around for a hundred years. When the film was over my wife said to me, "I would really like to see more stories with these characters." And I agree.

Replacing Sherlock Holmes for Stanislavsky

Amusing Russian detective movie, adapted from Arthur Conan Doyle's novel The Sign of Four, but replacing Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson for actor and director Konstantin Stanislavsky and journalist Vladimir Gilyarovsky, and London for dangerous and low-class square in Moscow called Khitrovka. Besides the duo, there are colorful character in either major or minor roles. Khitrovka itself is almost a character, always crowded, and it is very nice how director Karen Shakhnazarov (who has other movies I enjoyed from both Soviet era and post-Soviet times, like Zerograd, Ward Number 6, and We are from Jazz) showed in each scene several events happening at the same time.
