Much to my astonishment I've found myself agreeing with him several times in the last few years. Especially over Brexit...

Your first Kalatozov/Urusevsky film, whether it’s this, The Cranes Are Flying or Soy Cuba!, is always a miraculous experience. This was mine. Like finding out God was a cinematographer.

First watch: Letter Never Sent (1960). Mikhail Kalatozov's follow-up to The Cranes are Flying and a survival movie set in Siberia, also starring Tatiana Samoilova. Once again, it is filled with shots and scenes that defy logic, like having the characters walk through a burning forest. 1/3
