...Nevertheless, his auteur filmmaking style does not hamper his resourcefulness and improvisation. “Songs from the Tundra” was originally meant to be an environmental film about the clash between Siberia’s near-frontier status and the industrialization its gas deposits are attracting.

Final track “Beautiful Bliss” petered out unspectacularly and Wale briefly exhorted his audience to follow him on Twitter before leaving the stage, providing an unremarkable ending to the performance. Nevertheless, Wale stood out, sandwiched between two even less remarkable acts...
