I like it ! Maybe too much. For the fair presentation of Sankt Petersburg in special , Russia in general. For the gentle , precise sketch of love story. For actors and for the mute film used for define the nuances of story. For the honest image of near reality and clash between two very different perspectives about life. For admirable sides of innocence. For the heavy truths.
I admitt, I am very subjective about it but, from image to acting, from crumbs of naivety to the song of Russian translater , from the few unrealistic pieces of story, all sounds just beautiful.
A story about intense love after very short meeting and about confession of love.
And, sure, about Russia.
In short, a very useful and profound touching film for me.
