Whether one reads the film as a modern self-discovery process, a journey into Russian cultural history or an attempt to plumb the meanings and reframings of cultural traditions in Russian history, Doch rybaka draws upon an abundance of mythological figures and symbols. Slavic headdresses, costumes, Soviet interiors: no one element is left to chance. As well-thought-out and knowledgeable these references are, they never stop the narrative from breathing. The trip through this visually opulent and extremely original film universe is fast-moving and enriching, no matter whether you take a direct path or a detour.
