piece of art
4 October 2003 | by kwarkfrietveld – See all my reviews

Rare astonishing movie in beautifully sepia colour, beautifully slow shots. The story is about a young Moscow doctor who went to the south to do some

research and is struggling with loneliness, displacedness, temperature and so on. Also beautiful music, a piece of art
