Consistent Tarkovski style

A bit closer to a feature film than his other films

The heavy description of the suffering of the Russian nation, which is patient and trustworthy, is relatively straightforward (a bit too much dialogue?)

During the period of depression from beginning to end, there was never a trace of turbulence, even when the bell was cast and the murals were softly displayed.

"The Chinese adapt well all over the world while the Russians have a hard time. Why?"

"Does it have anything to do with faith?"

"Is faith and worship related?"

"It depends on whether the worshipper wants the result or the sustenance"

When it's clean everyone loves the domestic vibe seems to be at this stage

It is shared by several of my favorite director Tarkovsky Kieslowski Lou Ye's films.

Warmth is one of my desires fulfilled in the film
