7.3
If you're in the mood for absurdist comedy with bite, this 7.3-rated satire is worth your time tonight. It skewers upper-class stupidity with the kind of over-the-top humor that either lands brilliantly or falls flat—but either way, you'll know within the first 20 minutes. Go for it if you like your laughs weird and theatrical.
Plot
A comedy starring Nina Shaternikova, The Skotinins is loosely based on the 18th century play The Minor by Denis Fonvizin. In it, the upper class is shown as both depraved and stupid, engaging a variety of absurd, over-the-top follies.
