I'm Genius. Nikolay Glazkov is a fascinating dive into the life of a poet who was both celebrated and overlooked. The documentary captures the essence of Glazkov's curvilinear existence, weaving in snippets of his poetry and insights from colleagues who recognized his brilliance. The pacing feels reflective, almost meandering at times, mirroring the complexity of his character and work. It's less about a standard biographical arc and more about the atmosphere of 20th-century Russian literature. The absence of a known director adds an air of mystery, making the film feel like a personal exploration rather than a polished biography. It’s a unique glimpse into the artistic struggles and philosophical musings of a man whose genius was overshadowed by obscurity.
