Hostel (Russian: Общага, romanized: Obschaga) is a 2021 Russian teen drama film written and directed by Roman Vasyanov, adaptation of Alexei Ivanov's novel A Hostel on Spilled Blood (ru). It stars Gennady Vyrypaev, Irina Starshenbaum, Marina Vasilyeva, Nikita Yefremov, and Ilya Malanin.[1][2]
It is unrelated to the 2005 American film series of the same name by Sony's subsidiary Screen Gems. The film premiered in June 2021 at the 24th Shanghai International Film Festival.[3] The premiere took place online on September 26, 2021, at the online cinema Kion (ru) and KinoPoisk HD.
The film is set in Sverdlovsk in 1984. A group of young people live in a hostel, and suddenly one student commits suicide, which radically changes the lives of friends.[4]
The film was directed by cinematographer Roman Vasyanov, who first appeared in a new capacity. According to him, he had long wanted to take part in the film adaptation of "Hostel on the Blood" (ru) as a cameraman, but due to the lack of a director he decided to take on this function. Vasyanov also became one of the authors of the script.[5]
