I can't say I have ever seen a movie that's ever remotely similar to the one we watched on Friday. Experimental is the perfect word to describe that movie. I honestly can't say that I understood or even understand the point of the movie. To me the movie seemed like a look into Russian society during that time period, but i have a feeling there is more to it. I saw that the director used some new things like combining shots and other things like that, which we haven't seen in any other films we watched. One thing I did like about the movie was the sound track which was clearly put in later. The soundtrack was very appropriate for the movie and it worked in well with everything going on in the movie.

I too love the soundtrack. I've seen the film with a different accompanying score and didn't like it nearly as much. Sometimes, however, the Alloy Orchestra's accompaniment is a bit *too* smooth--making some of the inherent and essential contrasts in the film less apparent than they probably would be if a different sort of music were employed. I'll try to point out a bit of what I mean here during our discussion tomorrow.
