Spiritualized Kaos

In this very long film about philosophical reflections on good and evil in a time that could be the end of the 19th century or the beginning of the 20th century and where I have to confess that I fell asleep two or three times, I can't quite understand an episode in the middle of the film. Is it the Russian revolution? And I understand even less the continuation as if nothing had happened

Cristi Puiu proposes a provocative work. The camera denies the representation of emotion, even the vision of the faces of those who speak. It'#39;s cinema against cinema. After the only sequence that introduces external elements, there is no explanation. Soloviov'#39;s text is contemporary. If you can endure three and a half hours listening to philosophical concepts, you are an intellectual. Then, you can fix the world.

_Malmkrog_ is 3 hours and 20 minutes of dinner conversation centered on philosophy, religion and politics. If you can stay awake long enough, you'#39;ll learn all this dialog is only a metaphysical tract that goes nowhere near deeply enough to anything resembling universal truths. I do like how they tucked a single action scene in the middle, like a figurine in a King'#39;s cake, as kind of a reward for those who happen to be awake at that instant.
