Revolt the City, Count!

The Master of the Order of Unholy Power, who has ruled this order since the creation of the world, returns to his native hell after a long absence to be greatly surprised. The Grandmaster who has taken over the Order has drastically changed both foreign and domestic policy. In an effort to earn God's forgiveness, he has established an ironclad and virtuous order in Hell. He also intends to organize the same on Earth, so that people, like devils, began to walk in formation and eat semolina without salt and sugar. As a model for imitation Grandmaster chose the city of Perm, as the most law-abiding and obedient place on Earth. It is there, under the guise of a scientific conference, that a virtuous sabbath will take place, during which the future mother, chosen by astrologers, must marry one of the two candidates for the role of the father of the future messiah. Not the Antichrist, but exactly the messiah, with the kindest and most glorious tasks, to lead the pacified humanity.

Directed by Sergey Guryanov, Revolt the City, Count! leans on a strong ensemble — Игорь Гладнев, Лариса Каменских, Valery Seregin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1992.
