Well, I just want to comment the one that wrote that dumb last question. How long do you think the old people have been pushing that wagon? What do you think it's more important?: to help them, for a few minutes, maybe an our, an only for one day (the day(s) the director went there), or to film it, and show the conditions that those people had to live with?. I think, that the filmmaker's duty it's very clear. Don't miss the point, the help that Dvorstevoi provided those people was probably much bigger and complex than help them pushing a wagon. After I saw this film, I understood where cinema have to go nowadays, and no just for the theme, the form, extremely long takes, almost (and sometimes) a whole reel, avoiding the over saturation of cutting and shots, adopted in commercial cinema, video clips and -supposed to be- art and essay films. That's what I think.

Russian cinema is distinguished by its epic scale, philosophical depth, and innovative visual language. It often explores history, ideology, and the human psyche, with a tradition of psychological realism and artistic experimentation. Russian cinema contributed revolutionary theories of editing and later a spiritual approach to film language. It remains known for combining formal experimentation with profound explorations of endurance and belief.
