Boredom and Apathy - that is what this movie is all about. (In my opinion)
The lead character Leon and his Trotsky obsession are actually symbolic of leadership. Trotsky dealt with apathy and boredom but found his means to manifest the phenomena of the Russian revolution. Leon must deal with apathy and boredom but will he become a leader?
The Odessa Steps dream sequences are a delightful and comical look into Leons head. The movie is worth seeing just for this!
I greatly enjoyed the skillful performances from each character. Their dialog is top notch and the director pulls this 'Trotsky' idea together nicely.
What is the fate of Leon - we will never know.
