Post-Soviet Russia's Literary and Artistic Inheritance Can Be Continued

The director's consistent style is that the long shots of the front and back are symmetrical with each other, and some Russian twisted stories are blended in the middle. The bgm must be atmospheric classical music. The film screen connects the atmosphere and grandeur of Russia, forming a poetic film. "Irina" and "Leviathan" are all such routines. The uniqueness and inheritance of Russian literature and art can be seen from the director, and the shadow of Toon and Toon can be seen. The director's strong authorship, of course, can be loved by the French, but he has fallen into the same dilemma, which is inevitably not pleasing to the audience, and it is estimated that it is difficult to have a good box office. The style is really admirable. Of course, the bottom layer of Russia is not as bad as the film portrays, just like the bottom layer of our country is not as desperate as director Jia Zhangke's "Tian Destiny", intellectuals are always pessimists.

    A new work by a modern Russian master, such a pessimistic description of society! It still maintains the director's usual stern vision and a screen feeling full of visual expressiveness. It's just that the middle part has become a flowing display of the work of the "civil rescue team", leaving the character development. Compared with his peak works such as "Leviathan" and "Return", it is still much weaker.
