This is an excellent movie, The Fool (Durak) is a timeless piece of art... A movie with zero weak scenes, zero weak moments. The acting was brilliant. The Fool (Durak) has a reputation of one of the best films of all time. I am a huge fan of Yuriy Bykov and this movie was his finest work last time. It is proof of that - a movie to be very good need spectacular special effects - just made of great acting. The Fool (Durak) will be forever living movie. No matter how many years passed and no matter how many times you saw it. The Fool (Durak) will live with the next generations of men, I'm certain of that. It is one of the few movies of the past years that really deserve to be seen multiple times.

The film tells the story of Russian plumber, Dima Nikitin (Bystrov), who suddenly decides to face the corrupt system of local politics in order to save the lives of 800 inhabitants of an old dormitory, which is about to collapse.
