It is not easy to say why. To write about a familiar world, seductive - provocative scenes, the fairy tale air and the many stories about Bogatyrs is not exactly enough. The film gives more than an ordinary fantasy can give. Not the map of a fantastic world and remind of fundamental values but the flavors of a lost universe , so Russian than it is , certainly, universal. A lovely film , a great trip. Eccentric and silly and exagerated in few scenes, it is one of good return to fundamental values about things defining the heroic life.
