Hooray! I'm very much looking forward to this film as I really loved the first one.
I think Anton and Olga were my favourite characters, but basically I loved them all. And I get, a little bit, what you say about its feel of Russianness. Now granted my stay in Russia amounts to two months in St. Petersburg and one week in Moscow, so I'm no expert. ;P But the films convey something that I find very Russian. Maybe it's the light? I feel that's always very telling. For instance Rome is filmed in Italy, and that gives it this special,soft light which is just perfect.
it was full of Russian cultural and fairy-tale references
Intrigued now! Could you name a few examples? I love fairytales and references like that.
