Professional perspective from the future It is a pity that nothing else has been filmed by this director. His professionalism is felt in this work at a high level. Such a diverse use of cinematic skills and skills is rare for any director. Interest does not weaken throughout the short film, due to the constant commissioning of these various techniques, and so it turns out Saturated screen life: decadent skating / bathing, then a characteristic game of actors (Barinov is worthy to the bones of the skeleton in the role of a revolutionary worker, Alexey Zelenov is a student, a socialist, Andrei Bubashkin is a small official of the gendarme department), then wonderful views of the “revolutionary” city (we have in Simferopol, by the way, a similar textural district, which is characteristic, in Teshenskaya, in the years, you can find a topography of the characters (1988), and the scene scenery) It is an attractive movie from all sides, I do not see falsehood and tension. I believe everything that happens on the screen, absolutely corresponds to the inner vision of that time (the revolution of 1905) and visible on the screen.
The final scene is good (cult!) for emotions, for the location, emphasizing the emptiness and not the ability to “overplay” (I would know the buy – conscience would be cleaner!).
