Review

The film is good because it perfectly the atmosphere of the restructuring, the zeitgeist.

It is very interesting to look at us, only very different from ... other vital perception.

I've always been fascinated by the Soviet or Novorossiysk "veil."

Interiors, music - all this creates in the film a cover of secrecy.

Nice to look at the scenes that were commonplace then, and you will not see now. For example, a bystander, a completely unknown person gives the hero of light. Now this scene would seem absurd, but in the movie it looks very soulful and place.

The first half of the film measured, almost no plot, but, strangely enough, I liked it even more than the second "extremely topical" part, because it is riddled with a touching warmth, not without its share of drama, of course, but still very very nice.
