Dry and droll black comedy(?) is a hypnotic, Kafkaesque journey through Russian bureaucracy, anchored by Makovtseva stone-faced heroine, an "Alice" type figure to the increasingly bizarre wonderland she inhabits. Beautifully performed right down the line, with Akhedzhakova especially good as a sympathetic official. Loznitsa's perverse habit of holding onto an unfocused shot long past its usefulness becomes oddly more endearing as the film progresses. A unique and strange experience.

Estreava há 5 anos em Warsaw. O vi porque gosto do Dostoievski que tem a pegada da submissão de mulheres dentro do patriarcado, mas no formato de coisa outra. A questão é que o cineasta transforma isso numa alegoria política e fica a nosso encargo saber quem é quem nesse jogo. A protagonista é a Rússia sofrendo passiva na mão de uma população caótica? Até que ponto se vê o regime soviético e não o de Putin nessa alegoria? Esses pequenos retornos, idas e vindas, é o eterno circular da história?
