This is a remarkable biographical film with class. The actor who played Nikifor gave probably one of history's best performances as a stubborn old man but with a strong passion in what he does best.
The plot flow is quick, but with the right timing and pace, both which perfectly enrich the storyline and demonstrated the many details of the lifestyle or the culture of the locals across many different seasonal changes. The camera angle is kind of amateurish but did not disturb the viewers' observation at all.
I am not a fan of artwork but this movie is artistically done in a good way. But assuming Nikifor is as what he was depicted in this film, if he gets to watch himself on this movie rather than on an art paper, he will be cursing :)
