- The film is about a clash between soviet-bred workers and wild realities of Russian capitalism. The plot is based on a real story of today's crisis when production owners sort out their problems by means of cutting workers' wages which are already low.
- Overall, the idea is to make ethnicities, politics, races, nations - to make all of them turn into non-existent objects... ...akin to ovals, boxes, blobs, wardrobes! You might think he's really "someone", really a "representative of the people", but really just a representative of skirting boards, of coffee rings, nothing more. Overall, political invective's that should be perceived solely as poetic invective's. Overall, spreading geopolitics across geology and poetics. Like a question-Eskimo, dancing and waving his ribbons in the air, turns and changes on a pillar, becomes a question-Holocaust. In fact, "geopoetics" is a kind of a Holocaust seen as a choir, as an ensemblement, as an Eskimo.
- Two characters are linked to important namesakes from Russian history. Boris Yukhananov and Gleb Aleynikov exist in a non-plot space, filled with a tragic contest of Russian history.
- The film's called The Top Point, since part of the filming was carried out on the 9th floor, from the window of the Biryulevskaya high-rise building, as if from the point of view of an angel, only not flying, but sitting in a high tower.
- Why in the world is a Georgian chorus singing a traditional song that unexpectedly mentions the death of Saddam Hussein? The stars of the film, taken by surprise, talk about this odd turn of events "live". The conversation then shifts to samurais by the sea, the poets Mandelstam, Kliuev and Gorodezky, Moscow in the 1930s, and a Russian painter who immortalized Putin fishing. All surreal glimpses of the artist's relationship with power. The "second part" of a film that stirred a scandal at the Orizzonti section of the 2011 Venice Film Festival. Director's statement The goal of this experimental film was to apply the technology and linguistic peculiarities of modern fine arts to the cinema. The film consists of several lines: each of these lines was shot with its own specific stylistics in different corners of the planet. All the lines in the film intersect to form a common statement expressing criticism of modern civilization and tossing around Oriental tyranny and European democracy's lack of determination.
