Краткое содержание
The film follows William, thirty-ish, out of work and looking for a new life after apparently having been thrown out of his previous one. He meets up with Noelle, who seems intrigued by his restlessness - until her economist boyfriend shows up. Yet plot details do little to convey the power of the film, which lay in its capturing the anarchic texture of William's life - a life whose lack of direction was read as a rebuke of the Swiss myth of orderliness and self-satisfaction. With his roots in documentary, Soutter excelled at creating a loose, vibrant cinema, full of quick zooms and dynamic hand-held shots, with dialogue that often alternated between outright quotations and stylized interviews.
Two screwballs get mixed up with monsters, mad scientists and vampires.

Иван Дунаев — человек созидающий, он механизм, который запускает вокруг себя все жизненные процессы. Его можно назвать героем, но его героизм — не в совершении подвига, и не в принесении себя в жертву, а в его ежедневной, монотонной деятельности в течение всей жизни. В то же время — это фильм о мужской любви — к земле, к сыну, к дочери, к женщине. Он о трудном выборе своего пути и понимании долга — перед землей, страной, перед всеми предшествующими поколениями.

977 - кодовое число, связанное с попыткой «проверить алгеброй гармонию», найти математические закономерности в эмоциональной и духовной сфере человека. Герои фильма - добровольные участники эксперимента - проходят не только научные обследования, но и ряд вполне житейских испытаний дружбой, любовью, влечением, завистью и «сильнейшим из аффектов» - любопытством. В итоге, научный опыт превращается в человеческий, результат - непредсказуем...
