A masterpiece! The cinematography and the hand-held camera work is nothing short of brilliant. 10/10 12 years ago -

Compelling start. End like a nightmare. And that's not a negative qualification. Reminded me very much of Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes. But much, much more beautiful shot. 9 years 6 months ago -

Tells the story of diamond-seeking adventurers in Siberia.
Didn't like it too much.
Felt like the director was trying to shoot a glorious masterpiece, but felt short of it.
The photography is very beautiful though, and Tatiana Samoilova's beauty is fascinating, just like in "The Cranes are Flying".
I think what I disliked the most was the music.
And this idea of guys looking for diamonds for the sake of making the USSR richer is a bit blah blah to me. 4 years 6 months ago
