...Bykov, best known in Russia as a stage director, is perfectly cast as Akakievich, and Aleksei Batalov, who was an actor in such films as Nine Days of One Year and The Cranes Are Flying, directs the film as a memorable character portrait, faithful in spirit and exquisite in detail.

When someone complains that he has learned nothing from the Program and proceeds to detail a better reading list for each year's tutorial, one begins to wonder why other departments are not turning out equally "dissatisfied" scholars...
