The Apiary (2002)
Fairy-tale thriller, from the 'parallel cinema'. Real characters from Russian folklore come to life in the half-fantastic, half-idiotic atmosphere of a provincial town.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
