Very beautifully filmed indeed, every time there is a camera discovery that makes an impression. Sometimes with a touch of Soviet realism, but in such a way that it remains beautiful. The story is okay, nothing more than that. The letter thing, for example, is not really worked out consistently. Provisional 3.5 for The letter never sent. It will sometimes be revised.

Not the first film we see about an expedition in which man has to fight against bad luck and nature and the mission takes a dramatic turn, but what white-black cinematography is created here!

Sober, realistic and several masterfully shot images, such as this one with the expedition members, as black shadows, sharply defined against a threatening environment.

The film tells the story here.

It's no punishment to watch Tatyana Samoylova again in a few days. Not as a war widow this time, but as a diamond prospector in the vast taiga of Russian Siberia. There are four of them and you know in advance that not all of them will make it.

Beautifully shot. First of all the natural beauty, but also the hard work - often from a frog's perspective - as they go through the forests, on the river or later through the impressive sea of fire and snow. Also lots of close-ups of the face, especially when it has rained.

I actually liked the letter part the least about the film. It added little and it didn't lead to what I had thought. But overall, what a wonderful survival!
