Siberia

Clint, played by Willem Dafoe, has withdrawn from the world to a remote, snowbound landscape, where he runs a small, seldom-visited establishment and seeks some measure of peace. Isolation brings him neither escape nor calm, and one night he sets out by dog sled on a journey through dreams, memories and visions, moving from darkness toward light. The film blends drama, fantasy and horror as its central figure confronts the demons of his past in the depths of his own mind.

Abel Ferrara directed and co-wrote the screenplay with Christ Zois. It is the fourteenth of the seventeen features he has directed, following Pasolini (2014) and preceding Zeros and Ones (2021). The cast includes Dounia Sichov as Clint's ex-wife, Simon McBurney as a magician, Cristina Chiriac as a Russian woman and Daniel Giménez Cacho as a doctor, with Ferrara's daughter Anna Ferrara appearing as Clint's son. The production was an international effort involving companies from Germany, Italy, Greece and Mexico, among others.

The film drew modest responses. On IMDb it holds a rating of 4.8 from around 2,700 votes, and on TMDB 4.9 from a much smaller pool of 83 votes. A critics' rating of 5.1 from 43 reviews places professional assessments slightly above the audience scores, though all three measures sit below the midpoint on their scales.
