The story of how I came across this is almost as bizarre as the story
itself. At first a seemingly simple tale, it turns, rotates and ducks
through passageways, art rooms, ball sequences, orchestras, in and out
of snow and even more as it winds through Russian history.
The magnificent technical achievement of the film often, rather
unfortunately, overshadows the film itself - one single, unedited shot.
But what is often not noted is the story. For someone who knows little
of my own history, this prompted many questions into not only Russian
artistry, but what I've been missing of my own.
