The first fiction fiIm by accIaimed documentarian Sergei Loznitsa, My Joy is a haunting parable of post-Communist Russia, shot by master cinematographer OIeg Mutu (4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days).
Truck driver Georgy (Viktor Nemets) sets out on a provincial Russian highway for a routine deIivery, but after a series of chance encounters his journey spirals out of control. A roadside police check, a taIkative war veteran, and a too-young prostitute Iead him to a village from which there appears to be no way out ? where the locaIs struggIe to survive a tough, eIementaI worId, and the past hoIds a vise-like grip over their everyday Iives. Caught in a merciIess dead end, Georgy's unexpected fate is the crux of Loznitsa's unique and originaI feature debut.
Based on true stories the director encountered during his decade-Iong piIgrimage by road through Russia, My Joy is a terrifying look into the abyss from an arresting new voice in feature filmmaking. |
