Lénine en pensant is a fascinating piece that captures a moment in time, focusing on the massive Lenin statue in Ulan-Ude, which is both imposing and oddly incomplete. The film’s pacing is contemplative, drawing viewers into the stark surroundings and the ghost of a bygone era. You get a sense of the local culture, intertwined with historical remnants—it's like peering into a relic of the past. The practical effects are minimal but effective; the statue looms large and silent. This isn't about flash or grandeur; it’s more an exploration of legacy and memory. The atmosphere is almost meditative, allowing for a reflection on what Lenin represents in contemporary Russia and for the Buryat people.
