How I Ended the Summer

Russia

This one took quite a while to get going but turned into an oddball thriller after more than an hour of build-up. Two men work at a remote island weather station in the high arctic...one is a grizzled veteran...the other is a recent college grad. They have a troubled relationship...to say the least.

I had a lot of trouble understanding the motivation of the young guy...which was crucial to the plot. Are Russians just thick-headed dolts? May be...

After two hours the resolution was enigmatic...which I can live with...but...what really was the point of all this? And did a helicopter crash?
