Fundamentalist is one of those intriguing documentaries that pulls you into a unique slice of life. Set against the backdrop of St. Petersburg, it follows a young scientist who's neck-deep in the complexities of the human genome. It’s not just about science; it’s about his daily grind in an ordinary communal apartment, giving you an intimate peek into his mind and environment. The pacing is measured, allowing you to digest the layers of his thoughts and the atmosphere is quite contemplative. There’s a certain rawness, a kind of realism that makes it feel very grounded. The film doesn’t shy away from the conflicts between personal ambition and ethical considerations, which I found pretty thought-provoking, even if the director's identity remains a mystery.
