"Paints a bleak, wistful, tragically funny portrait of a man, a people, a world."—Manohla Dargis, New York Times

"[A] blackly comedic fantasia [that paints] a none-too-rosy picture of Russia, or its Soviet past festering just beneath the surface."—William Repass, Slant Magazine

"Shot with conscientiousness and ingenuity rarely seen in films from any country anymore."—Glenn Kenny, RogerEbert.com

Based on the novel The Petrovs In and Around the Flu by Alexey Salnikov, Petrov's Flu is a deadpan, hallucinatory romp through post-Soviet Russia. With the city in the throes of a flu epidemic, the Petrov family struggles through yet another day in a country where the past is never past, the present is a booze-fueled, icy fever dream of violence and tenderness, and where, beneath the layers of the ordinary, things turn out to be quite extraordinary.
