I had quite high hopes for the film from the start. Unfortunately, my hopes came burning down with charred skeletal remains of wings. The film had a plot of sorts, but it actually ended in middle of the story - only to return to it at the end of the film. It was as if the screenwriter could not decide which of the two plots they had designed was the one carrying the film forward.
Most of the time, the film seemed like a random collection of events. The scenes had some string attached to them, theoretically binding them together, but even that felt far stretched and thin. There were scenes that could have been cut off from the movie without having an effect on the plot. I understand that it is hard to edit your own baby, but in this case, cutting this to 1 hour and some 20 to 30 minutes would have done this a huge favor.
Nice scenery and an impression on Russian life that most western people have no experience of. Reminded me of childhood trip to Soviet Union. The buildings were pretty much in the same shape already in the 80s. As a film this does not stand out from the crowd.
