    It was a nice movie, melancholic and with a documentary approach. I liked the way Van der Horst captured the images of the people surrounding the poet Boris Ryzhy. It lead me to a mysterious and yet untouched sympathy of his work and life, brought back memories from post-communist countries and Russia too. Still I felt it left pieces of his life undiscovered, mystifying him even more in the eyes of the public, who probably never heard of the poet. However, a lyrical movie with a nice quality of images.
