The Geographer Drank His Globe Away (Russian: Географ глобус пропил, romanized: Geograf Globus Propil) is a Russian drama film made in 2013, directed by Alexander Veledinsky, based on the novel of the same name by Alexei Ivanov.
[1] The action of the film, as opposed to the novel, has been transferred from the "dashing nineties" to the present day.
[9] Ronnie Scheib from Variety wrote that "thanks to Konstantin Khabensky’s charismatic, sardonic performance as Victor, even personal deterioration proves fascinating and consistently entertaining".
The music for the film was written by the guitarist of the "Aquarium" group, Alexei Zubarev.
[11] The film was shot over two years; there were 34 days of shooting, two expeditions and a planned five-month break.
