Reader Reviews
"I thought it would be more interesting if I listed some things that I read and watched in preparation for the making of "Eastern Promises" than just listing a random bunch of things that I like. Among these are "The Mark of Cain," by Alix Lambert, not yet available on DVD. A companion piece to the Russian Criminal Tattoo books, this a very courageous documentary on the tattooing subculture in Russian prisons. I don't know how it ever got made, but it's beautiful, scary, and heartbreaking." - David Cronenberg Yes, it is now available. As of March 25, 2008 you don't have to be friends with David Cronenberg or Viggo Mortensen to see this amazing film. Those of you who saw it the first time around when it was a finalist for the Independent Spirit Award know the gist of the story, but for those who don't, it's still incredible. On a shoestring budget, filmmaker Alix Lambert traveled to Russia and through sheer determination, gained access to the darkest prisons in the country. Her interviews with murderers and mobsters who openly discuss multiple beheadings, contract killings and the mythology and meaning of their tattoos make up the majority of the film, but it is the prison system itself that is most effectively exposed. Cronenberg talks about re-writing the script for 'Eastern Promises' after seeing this film, and after you see it, you'll understand why. You can't talk about organized crime in modern Russia without referencing Alix Lambert's "The Mark of Cain". This is the seminal work.
