"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.
In the most remote part of the Arctic, a small weather station, a middle-aged weatherman, ushered in a naive high school graduate intern. The two men have very different temperaments. The middle-aged people only look forward to returning to the distant wives and children as soon as possible. The young people are eager to be understood. The so-called life is always not as good as the sky, and life will always come to an abrupt end inadvertently. The middle-aged man's wife and children have been killed in a distant place, but he knows nothing, he only loves to go fishing.
When the posterity got this news, he kept it secret, for fear that it would stimulate the big brother, but the gap between generations was always insurmountable, and the contest really began. The ship never came, they had to wait. The silent time coincides with the silent wasteland world. This summer is so long and so unpredictable.
Sometimes misunderstandings are not just because they are two generations, or because of prejudice and arrogance, but because of too many concerns and lack of communication, or because their natural temperament is linked to a special environment, people lose one kind of The power of empathy.
In fact, the infinite, desolate and vast world happens to form an interesting observation with the lonely limited space deep in each other's hearts. This may be the atmosphere that the director is trying hard to create. I think his goal has been achieved.
