It is easy and fair to define it as masterpiece. To discover more than inspired performances and work of great director but the spirit of novel, step by step, proposed with grace and precision. The lovely memory, for me, the splendid portrait of Porfiry by Innokenti Smoktunovski. An adaptation proposing not only an universe but useful reflection of reality near us in its profound significations. Short, yes, a masterpiece. But, at a new view, it becomes more . A kind of kick to deep honest portrait of low levels defining the viewer. And delicate - precise hommage to humanity essence.
