an absolute masterpiece that becomes quite an experience for the audience.
from the first sight, it might be interesting for those who were born in soviet regime only, since the story itself is about the darkest period of soviet regime - Stalin's era - but if you look closer you will discover a Kafka-like parable of a man trying to survive in a doomed circle of fatal circumstances.
dark, atmospheric, accurate in every single character and detail, this film requires your involvement to be understood and appreciated -
and once this happens, you will achieve a cinematic treasure, one of a kind.
10/10
