Stepney

The three main characters of “Stepney” are the manic hipsters of the future, the golden youth. In order to catch the crowd, they decide to cut the way through dysfunctional neighborhoods - and get into fantastic Gopnik. “God is out of the car” in the guise of a busted Moscow taxi driver of the old school saves the heroes and their taxi.

Directed by Vitaly Shepelev, Stepney leans on a strong ensemble — Maksim Gromov, Anastasiya Tsoy, Ivan Latushko — 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 thriller titles of 2018.
