On Rubik's Road is quite an intriguing documentary that flows like a bike ride through history. It takes you on a journey along a bicycle path named after Alfreds Rubiks, a figure who looms large in Latvia's political past. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, as it contrasts the calm of the path with the tumultuous period of the 1980s and 90s. It’s less about flashy visuals and more about the raw, unvarnished truth of Latvia’s struggle for independence. The atmosphere is heavy with nostalgia and tension, capturing the weight of political legacy. Pakalnina’s direction gives space for reflection, inviting you to consider the implications of leadership and national identity. A distinct piece that feels both personal and expansive in its scope.
