CELESTIAL WIVES OF THE MEADOW MARI

The result is a hodgepodge of quickly constructed anecdotes, some revelatory and droll... others uncomfortable in what seems like regressive female politics... While the accumulation of stories and incidents never results in being more than a sum of its parts, Fedorchenko is a strong voice in contemporary Russian cinema and one to keep a close eye on, not least of all for his ability to capture the Russian landscape in all its variant seasonal beauty.
