      Doomed

      He came to the Arctic for an internship when he was young, probably just because of novelty and fun, anyway, it was just a summer.
      When he learned the news of the death of his wife and children who had been in the North Pole for so many years, he hesitated to conceal it.
      Concealing is a debilitating thing, especially when he heard that concealment might lead to a murderous disaster, he flees in fear.
      The failure of the escape forced him to tell the truth, and he fell to the point...

      how to say

      It really can’t be said that this is a good film. It just magnifies the mistakes and contradictions to see what happens. It is also a personal contradiction. It has nothing to do with human nature and cannot represent the majority of human beings. It is like taking a small family. Short film.

      However, there are four good points in the movie.
      First, the work attitude is reiterated, work must be serious, rigorous, and meticulous;
      second, relax after work to make yourself feel...

      How do i spend this summer

      "How do I spend this summer" (2010). This disc has been kept there. I knew it was a good movie, but I didn't watch it. In recent years, Russian cinema has tended to weaken. And this one can definitely be regarded as a smashing quack. The title of the film "How do I spend this summer" is not a questioning or inquiry, it is more like a narrative, but there is a slight sadness, a little unclear.

      Just be lonely

      Generally speaking, this is a very dull film. Except for the still scenery of the North Pole, the others are extremely simple. The two researchers stationed in the Arctic had conflicts because of communication problems. They chased each other and fled, and finally reconciled.
         Maybe we, who live in big cities every day, can’t understand why we can’t communicate well. If young people tell the elderly about their family’s departure earlier, it won’t hurt their feelings and their bodies....

      Human complexity, fragility, stubbornness and perseverance

      "How do I spend this summer", two men in the isolated polar regions repel each other from generation to generation, short-circuit communication, and become embarrassed by the complex, fragile, stubborn, and persevering human beings.
      The photography is very good, and the last two men "hugging" together is a classic scene.
      The Russian director and screenwriter, Main Idea is very good, but the rhythm is a bit short, why not increase the contrast between the long and dead silence and...

    Movie plot

    Two men work at a meteorological observatory near the Arctic in Russia. Pieces of pure white ice floes on the vast sea, the colorful sky on the horizon outside the window, and the magnificent ice and snow in the lens are like the end of a quiet world. Their task is to regularly read the surrounding radioactive element data and report to the headquarters via radio. Radio is the only bridge between them and foreigners. Sergey, in his...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Evaluation action

    "Как я провел этим летом" combines painting-like photography and brilliant performances. The film has an "anti-plot" creative tendency, and it is this creative method that weakens the plot and dilutes contradictions and conflicts, which makes the film a rare artistic masterpiece. The theme of the film is loneliness, which is similar to the overall temperament of the film   . (Time News Review)
    The environment of the background of the...
