影片"Катя Измайлова"改编自列斯科夫的随笔《姆岭克斯县的马克白夫人》。 女作家的儿媳妇卡佳和作家别墅的帮工谢尔盖一见钟情。30岁的卡佳在谢尔盖身上找到了从未有过的激情,受情欲支配的她只要有机会就要和谢尔盖做爱。卡佳对工作的懈怠引起了婆婆的不满。卡佳为了扫清她和谢尔盖今后生活的障碍,婆婆生病时故意拖延时间使之丧命,然后和谢尔盖一起将自己的丈夫杀害掩埋。卡佳以为从此她就可以开始过幸福的生活了。但谢尔盖早有女友,他对卡佳也是另有图谋。得知真相的卡佳约谢尔盖和其女友一起进城,半途中,卡佳谎称汽车抛锚要谢尔盖修车,等谢尔盖下车后,卡佳发动汽车,将自己和谢尔盖的女友一同坠入河中摔死。 导演瓦·托多罗夫斯基是俄罗斯新生代导演中的佼佼者。或许出生于电影世家(其父是著名导演,曾执导电影《国际女郎》,其母是编剧及制片人)让他对镜头有一种天然的敏锐。新颖的视角,影调构图的个性设计赋予影片难得的精致与优雅,对场景和对白的精雕细琢给影片提供了深厚的底层铺垫。本片看似曲折、充满谋杀的剧情其实只是为了商业上的宣传,导演更注重叙事的结构。大气、精细、个性化似乎已经成为瓦·托多罗夫斯基影像作品的风格。
