By the end of Gorky Park, we realize that it's not the solution that matters, but what the case itself forced the people to discover about themselves.

Gorky Park is well done and unique amid the films of its day. While certainly made with the Cold War as its backdrop, the film never resorts to the Cold War clichés of the time.
