The film's tone is just as original. How to describe it? it owes a bit to the biographical films of Ken Russell, which teetered on the edge of camp and used facts as a springboard for wild fancy; but it's much sweeter. Read full review

There's a great deal of rhetoric about revolution and radical art, but Chagall-Malevich is staid and conventional. Read full review
