Мамонт Павлова

An archaeological expedition to a marsh in Siberia where mammoth bones were sticking out of ice only a few weeks ago. Join the chase for an ancient carcass that is being uncovered due to global warming. This documentary may seem like a spiritual successor to Mad Max. Tracked crawlers driven by sombre men with rifles ride through melting Siberian moonscape. Only interludes of written text reminding of silent era films tell us that this is a scientific endeavour. Heavy guitar riffs in some scenes then bring road movies to mind. However, redemption is bittersweet. Even though the researchers are on the verge of discovery, they realise it is for the price of the disintegration of everything around them. (Academia Film Olomouc)
