This film is pure art! Engaging, deep, emotional. beautiful shot, with wonderful tone in the images. Watch it

I haven't watched the entire film yet. Just starting to watch. I started watching the beginning of the movie with the mindset of watching an evil women get her just deserts due to the review of In-IMDb-1 stating that this woman (leading character) committed cold blooded premeditated murder. That she brought the knife to intentionally kill this dude when in fact it was not. She didn't know her estranged husband would be at the train station. She was trying to free herself and make a clean getaway from her husband before he returned from the war. He gets violent with her on the train platform pulling her head back by grabbing a fistful of her hair. The killing of her husband was in self defense not cold blooded murder. Therefore it was not Karma this woman received by being sent to a camp but more bad luck. It's sad and also that you have people like this reviewer that appears to not see other human beings as their equal. He gave me a false impression of what the Foundation of the movie would Be. Or maybe he/she was just trolling on the review. Who knows.

Story goes like this: a woman kills her husband after he refuses to get back on a train, and she is sent to the gulag. This happens so quickly and on the assumption that a brief verbal mention of past domestic abuse warrants killing the husband, that I was not prepared to support this killer just yet. So the rest of the movie is pointless as I do not feel sorry for this woman, she can die there, she deserves it. It is not as if she ran away from a violent husband: on the contrary, she waits for his return at a train station and when he arrives she basically asks him to leave his home, wife and kid after he went to war, just like that. And she carries a knife with the purpose of killing him if he refuses. This sense of entitlement makes the story anachronistic.
