Typical piece of 'slow tv'. Whether you appreciate this film or not depends on the state you're in when watching it I guess. When you're all set for an entertaining movie experience, you will be utterly dissappointed. But when you're in a tired or intoxicated mood, you will value the stillness and find some parts of it not boring.
The movie is a compilation of dreary, slow-paced dialogue, shots of a deserted Russian countryside and random flashbacks. I'm sure there's supposed to be a deeper meaning to it all, and a political Soviet one as well, but I didn't catch it. I will read about it.
