Herzog does not try to make any grand claims about faith and superstition, but rather presents the religious life (in Siberia). One both envies and pities these believers. Jesus seems to actually appear on screen as the man in red robes blesses those in his presence and those watching this film. The Tuvan singing resonates like the long-gone bells of Kitezh.

An amazing gaze into the workings of ideology and ritual, just wish there were more interviews
