This Soviet historical drama, set in pre-revolutionary Russia, features traditional casting with an overwhelmingly white Russian ensemble, consistent with its historical setting and source material. The narrative focuses on socio-political and philosophical critiques of the era's intelligentsia, rather than engaging with modern diversity, equity, and inclusion themes or critiquing traditional identities based on race or gender.
Secondary
