The continuation of the Orgy

Tape is a continuation of the movie “Swingers” Latvian Director Andrejs Ekiza, which successfully came out in the Ukrainian rental 1 January 2018, sold almost 277 thousand tickets in the amount 22,167 million. Before doing Comedy in Ukraine, the Director has twice tested its effectiveness in the Baltic countries, creating a version of “Swingers” in Latvia and Estonia with the local actors who played the same dirty things: about a wealthy couple who appeared to engage in group sex to a couple of “proletarian” and a love triangle consisting of two homosexuals and accidentally caught them naked girl.

Sex and power

The second “Swingers”, which again worked Andrejs Ekis, occurs primarily in the same interiors (shining Soviet “chic” unrepaired flats and gaudy mansions of the oligarch), but is not a copy of an existing vulgarity, but the original — Ukrainian — incarnation. And, with a hint of urgency: skinhead oligarch with criminal manners (Michael Kukuk) was going to go for the presidency and is trying urgently to raise the fallen sexual potential — using girlfriend (Olga Polyakova), partners in the “swing” (Vyacheslav Dovzhenko and Anna Salivanchuk) and heroine Darya Astafyeva, naked before without panties.

Old famous faces

In “Swingers 2” migrated all the characters are original, except for a young homosexual who quit in the break between the series, a middle-aged partner in a meaningful by Alexei Vertinsky. Good to play (and just play), a talented artist, who decided to return a loved one by erecting a surrogate mother of the child, however, give a little: the hero regularly gets on the head and often remains unconscious outside of the frame — causing envy from the audience, suffering from intolerance of toilet humor. Although the film is better not to go.

New famous faces

But the background of Comedy was enriched by two new image. Dzidzo (Mikhail Khoma) are virtually indistinguishable from their previous on-screen manifestations of the manner he played a tantric sex guru (his best joke, however, is dedicated not to him but to troyeschina and Gopnik). A “transvestite diva” Monroe (further quote from the press release) “played herself and performed in a night club with a very unexpected musical repertoire.” Monroe also got an important mission to announce the dirty joke of the tape. Or one of the most vulgar, the competition in this category is off the charts.

Movie for Instagram

The lion’s share of the jokes provides the oligarch in energetic and even eccentric — the performance of Michael Kukulka. He generously sprinkles risqué euphemisms, calling everything related to the reproductive sphere every time (this creates nostalgia for the obscene vocabulary, which in a Comedy is avoided), and leads the “live broadcast” in Instagram with political speeches on the topic “choose me”, performed spirited populism and the passionate thirst of popularity. Counter their views, likes and bawdy comments is reproduced on the screen. It is they, first and foremost, and get the hero.

Movie like Instagram

The principle of short emotional statements built on comic situations, valuable in the here and now and instantly forgettable when it ends, is the basis of the picture. It was deliberately divided into almost independent episodes, then, emphatically chattering on the remote to “switch” between them.

Even in the final, the authors are not particularly trying to relate the story ends, knowing that deafening “carpet bombing” jokes, “ha ha” which deliberately ignores the good taste, to 90 minutes, the last minute of the tape was successfully destroyed all the intellectual activity of the audience and their ability to critically perceive what is happening on the screen.

In this kind of sense of “Swingers 2” are even more effective than the original. And very Ukrainian. Confidently inhabiting the marshy lower course of the “carnival” of vulgarity, which defines the majority of domestic comedies — like and fresh, but with a “tainted”.
