“Three Stories presents three tales of domestic murder carried out by three characters: Tykhomirov, a clerk who kills his promiscuous landlord; Ophelia, a hospital record archivist who takes revenge on her mother for abandoning her as a child; and a granddaughter who poisons her grandfather with rat poison. Originally, Muratova intended these stories to be read as “horror” but opted to exaggerate them within a grotesque style that renders them instead as ironic and farcical. Three Stories marked the beginning of Muratova’s fascination with complex, multilayered narratives composed of individual, often anecdotal stories, interwoven with the unexpected yet inevitable.”
