Stunning to look at and ambitious in its symbolic rendering of the subject.

A contemplative fable, not without its wry wit, which effectively ponders the workings of faith, specifically the connection between gnawing guilt and a desire to do good.

An unsentimental journey of guilt, atonement and redemption, with moments of comic bleakness. Your eyes will be smarting.

It's very easy to become weary with the ever-remorseful Anatoly, despite his mischievous sense of humour, and you find yourself yearning to cuff him about the ear and telling him to get over it.
