Storyline
Reviews (2)
« Being in Mirny, I caught myself a feeling that the whole atmosphere around the town and the Mir quarry is amazingly similar to a book by one of Russia's most famous writers, Andrei Platonov, "Kotlovan", where the author talks about a social experiment, about the process of building an all- proletarian house, about happiness for future generations, an ideal society, about the meaning of human existence. »
Nikolay Bem
« For me, the giant pit is a symbol of a contradiction, of an unresolved generational dilemma. What should we do with the pit left to us as an inheritance from the last generation ? What is this inheritance ? Is it a pit to build a new common house that did not exist before ? Or a symbol of the inevitable catastrophe on earth, which man creates with his own hands ? »
