While critical commentary is limited, what is known suggests:

Teptsov’s films tend to explore mysticism, the supernatural, and surreal imagery.
His debut Gospodin oformitel is often described as one of the early Soviet films engaging with mystical themes.
His musical collaborations, particularly with Sergey Kuryokhin, suggest a blending of avant-garde or experimental musical sensibilities into his films.^[3]^[4]^{[circular reference]}
