Anatoli, un marinero capturado por los nazis en 1942, es obligado a cometer un imperdonable acto de barbarie. Treinta años más tarde corren rumores de que un hombre santo, conocido como el padre Anatoli, que vive en una isla casi desierta, es capaz de hacer milagrosas curaciones y puede ver el futuro. Así, una joven poseída por demonios llega hasta la isla en busca de ayuda. (FILMAFFINITY)
"The Island" (original title: "Ostrov") is a profound Russian drama directed by Pavel Lungin, released in 2006. Written by Dmitry Sobolev, this contemplative film explores faith, guilt, and redemption, set against the stark, windswept beauty of a remote Orthodox monastery in Northern Russia. The story centers on Father Anatoly (Pyotr Mamonov), an eccentric monk whose odd behavior—ranging from prankish outbursts to cryptic pronouncements—baffles his fellow brothers. Living in a coal-streaked boiler room on a desolate island, Anatoly’s life is marked by a haunting past: during World War II, he committed a grave sin under duress. Decades later, pilgrims flock to him, drawn by rumors of his gifts—healing the sick, casting out demons, and glimpsing the future—yet he shuns praise, wrestling with his own unworthiness alongside the stern Father Job (Dmitry Dyuzhev) and the compassionate Father Filaret (Viktor Sukhorukov). Famed for its minimalist storytelling, breathtaking cinematography by Andrei Zhegalov, and a haunting score by Vladimir Martynov, "The Island" is a spiritual odyssey steeped in Russian Orthodox tradition. Mamonov’s raw, soul-baring performance—drawing from his own life—earned widespread acclaim, anchoring the film’s quiet power. Released in 2006, "The Island" won multiple Nika Awards, Russia’s top film honor, and resonated deeply with audiences for its meditative depth. A stark yet luminous parable, it’s a timeless reflection on sin, grace, and the search for peace in a broken world.
