Incident Improvisation

The enterprising head physician rents out places in the resort hospital to quite healthy vacationers. Fearing inspections, he keeps his “imaginary patients” under the strictest regime, prohibiting them from even going to the bathroom.

Directed by Evgeny Kamenkovich, Alla Surikova, Incident Improvisation leans on a strong ensemble — Alexandr Marin, Vladimir Mashkov, Irina Petrov — 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 1991.
