The Dying Swan
A blatant simplicity covers the otherwise straightforward narrative of <PERSON> melodramatic melancholy. Alternative to the political motifs undertaken and revolutionized by Soviet auteurs like <PERSON> or <PERSON>, the pre Russian narrative of their quintessential tragedy concocts the elements of satire against bourgeoisie and romantic vibrancy of characters in their perfectly constructed dynamic relationships that produce off the factors of humanism which in turn <PERSON>'s empathetic lens decides to project on the cultural bases of the country. A striking contrast between enchanting beauty and the rationale of death is brilliantly developed through philosophical symbolism and sequences of absolute surrealism. A narrative surrealism analogous to that of the Spanish maestro <PERSON> is very evident in the entirety of the cinematic projection of nightmarish proportions.
