Sinekatalog’s take
Nikita Mikhalkov's period drama follows a silent film actress in 1917 Crimea torn between her love for a Bolshevik cameraman and her old world. Elena Solovei is luminous in a lush, nostalgic, wry film about art and revolution.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
