Fantastic!

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

If you're into old communist artifacts and a fast road story through the former USSR and Romania, then this is for you. If you'd rather follow Levi in his footsteps after reading his book, you might end up a bit disappointed.The beginning of this documentary shows you the route which Levi described in his second book. You'll see images of the Gulag, steel factories, even a part of Tjernobyl and lots of local habits that still find their influence in statues of Lenin and his other important communist leaders of that time. Near the end, which should introduce a personal vision of his friends, you might find yourself wondering what question you would like to ask if you were in the position of making this doc yourself.
