"The Gentle Age" is a portrait of a generation that was coming of age in the late 1980s early 1990s. Having lived through the collapse of the Soviet Union, this generation had to reevaluate the values and life goals that seemed absolute to the generation of the fathers, but which were suddenly rendered osbolete by the changing realities of the post-1991 Russia. In keeping with Soloviev's style of complicated montage, intertitles and witty narrative voice-overs, the film follows a young man (Dmitry Soloviev) through his adolescent years in the late 1980s and early 1990s, tracing his relationship with his classmate who was to become a popular fashion model in Paris, his friendships, his experiences during the Chechen war, etc. Starring the director's son, Dmitry Soloviev, the film narrates some of the true stories that had happened to Soloviev junior, who co-wrote the script with his father. |
