Weakness of the Bolshevik (2003)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

AKA: La Flaqueza del Bolchevique
Directed by: Manuel Martin Cuenca
Starring: Luis Tosar (Pablo), Maria Valverde (Maria), Mar Regueras (Sonsoles), Nathalie Poza (Eva)
Country: Spain; Effed Up European Cinema
Language: Spanish (Eng Subs); Effed Up Spanish Films
Runtime: 01:33:51
Genres: Old-Young Relationships, Teenager, Voyeur-Stalking

Plot – Spoilers:
A middle-aged Spanish banker, Pablo, is unhappy about everything in his life. He thinks of himself as a Bolshevik based on a college thesis he never completed, yet won’t consider releasing himself from the stranglehold of his corporate job. He thinks he’s achieved a clarity about where he stands in life, but like with everything else, he’s only confused. So he’ll make crude remarks in the presence of women, hate them if they desire him, turn venomous and vindictive if they are contemptuous of him, yet also be kind to his female assistant.

Pablo pines for his childhood and teen years despite growing up without money or much parental involvement in a rough neighborhood. This yearning for the past has also instilled in him a strong belief that to be innocent is to be young. So when he’s got a lonely evening to himself at home, he spends it browsing books on the Russian Revolution, while also being fascinated by a particular photo of a group of young Russian girls.

The film starts with Pablo getting into a minor accident and fight with a woman whom he then starts prankcalling. Until he notices she has a younger school-going sister with a Virgin Maria appeal that takes his breath away.

Great film. I watched it and stayed interested in it till the end. *SPOILER AHEAD? Not sure*

Earns its effedup star at the end. That was effed up. But there are wisps of effedupness throughout.

VERY original and quite touching at times love story.

this is a pretty good one all around, ..interesting characters with a quite good development, even if not exceedingly deep ( but better than becoming pretentious or overtly cerebral about it); questioning morality that didn’t handshake too much, I thought, the general common idea of it, but staying realistic; good plot, it made me think the book could also be good. The style is sober, not very interesting maybe but absolutly does the job and never put me off of bothered me. Films that try hard, (even not that hard at times) to be stylish, authorial, fancifully directed, without having the ability of pullin it off annoy me very much more, or better, they do annoy me, while the capacity of just carrying a good story letting it tell itself, avoiding anything annoyingly childish, for me is yet good “style”. …
ok, I overtalked myse ….
anyhow… Surprised the admin didn’t seem to appreciate this very much. … I for myself would probably even give it a second testing and see if it holds up
Great site!!. Now that we ve got some decent connection I can definitly enjoy it, in the tiny spare time to search some good alternative moviemaking

Spoiler: Why did the guy went to jail; did he had sex with the corpse of the girl?

TV movie with a mellow intriguing story and some humor that I dig. Good acting and some damn pretty actresses. Not the type of movie you expect here.

Spoiler: did I miss it that her sister explicitly but indirectly sent those guys after him and thus killed her own sister by accident, or is that only implied but left unanswered? I kind of love and hate it if they left that unanswered, it makes one remember the movie by wondering…

3.5 to 4 stars for me, so I bumped it with 5.

It drags big time. I almost gave up on it. I burst out laughing when the guard said “Cell #2.” 3 stars maybe?

Boring movie without sex scenes or anything effedup really happening. Just an older guy seducing and having company with a younger girl and reading stupid books. Too much blabber and feeling depressed all the time. Meh..

A very well told story. What a shame, so much to offer but it happens.
