The Territory

The Territory

Russian novels are often lengthy and are a bit tricky to adapt on screen. Looking at the trailer set for Alexander Melnik’s The Territory, it is easy to be intrigued by what the lengths and heights it took to capture each landscapes set for the film. Based on a novel by Oleg Kuvayev, The Territory explores the depths of people trying to redeem their economic and social statuses after the war. There are too many characters to remember, some of which I wished could have been more focused on, but ultimately one has to remember Chinkov, played by Konstantin Lavronenko—the determined chief geologist who refuses to give up on the idea that there is gold in the Territory. He assigns Baklakov (Grigoriy Dobrygin), a humble yet keen-spirited miner set to look for gold in the Territory.

I had higher expectations for the film. I wanted to know more about the people in the Soviet Union, as I am unfamiliar about that part of history. But all the film offers are breath taking view of mountains, flowing rivers, icecaps and landscapes, and several narratives thrown into the story that oftentimes I find it confusing to remember who’s who.

MOVIE REVIEW: 'The Territory' (2015)

I wanted to know more about what would happen next with Baklakov and the young woman whose grandfather, Kyae, has a lot to say about man’s greed and the simplicity of life in the mountains. But this storyline doesn’t seem too important, although it would have made a meaningful addition to the narrative. I wonder if this is expanded in the novel, and so the saying that “One must never compare the film adaptation to its original story, as these two are cousins” applies very well to this film.

You’re in for a ride of a different kind of Russia in The Territory. The film wins Best Artistic Contribution, though at two hours and thirty minutes, it feels like one must have tremendous amounts of patience. It is perfect for an epic adventure about greed, the preservation of one’s identity, geology, a little bit of love and humor among a few scenes. The only upping scene I have taken from the film was Ilya Chinkov and his determination that gold exists in the Territory, whereas everyone else didn’t.

If you’d ask me “did they find the gold?” Oh yes they did.
