4. Movie: Mermaid (Pycaaka)
"Russian Film." : Anna Melikyan: Mermaid. Web. 11 Oct. 2015.
The film "Mermaid" is a Russian film by Anna Melikyan. The movie is a modern day re-telling of The Little Mermaid. In this version, the main character of Alice is sent to be raised in a mental institution and stops talking after setting a house on fire that she saw her mother having an affair in. She soon discovers that she has a bit of magic inside of her and can use it to help others. Upon her eighteenth birthday, she is released. She then meets and falls in love with a man named Sasha, whose life she saves. This story, like many other re-tellings of the Little Mermaid also does not end well for the main character. Sasha chooses another woman over Alice and Alice is hit by a car at the end of the film.
