Kritičari ovog filma kažu da je reč o „ruskom Inceptionu“, što je tačno, ali ovde ta sličnost služi kako bi se ispričale tri različite priče koje jedna drugu pokreću. Prva prati samu radnju romana, druga okolnosti u kojima roman nastaje, a treća događaje koji su doveli do tih okolnosti.

Na početku filma radnja može delovati zbunjujuće upravo zbog isprepletanosti tri priče, ali kako film odmiče, sve tri se narativno stapaju jedna u drugu, tako da njihovo praćenje ne zahteva napor.

———————————————————————–

Critics describe this film as a “Russian Inception,” which is accurate, but here that similarity serves to tell three different stories that set each other in motion. The first follows the plot of the novel itself, the second the circumstances in which the novel is written, and the third the events that led to those circumstances.

At the beginning, the plot may seem confusing precisely because of the interweaving of these three stories, but as the film progresses, they all merge narratively into one another, making them easy to follow.
