How I ended this summer

First of all I find the title of the film not relevant to the story. It is basically a 2-man film throughout but the dryness of watching these two men, one young and inexperienced and the other mature and stern, is partially compensated by your exposure to the artic landscape and the repetitive but unusual chores they do. Director Popogrebsky did a good job in teling the story and conveying a sense of total isolation from civilization of these two men who chose to live in this environment, away from their families, in the name of scientific research. However, my problem is I don't care enough about the young man who created all the problems for himself. Worth a look if you enjoy contemporary Russian cinema.
