One of the most acclaimed films of last year, Silent Souls (Ovsyanki) is a breathtakingly beautiful road-movie masterpiece. After the sudden death of his wife, tough guy Miron asks taciturn writer Aist to accompany him on a Iong journey to dispose of her remains according to the rituaIs of the Merya peopIe - an ancient tribe from picturesque West-Central Russia. As the two friends traverse the evocatively bIeak Iandscape with her body and a pair of caged birds, Miron fills the hours relating the most intimate details of his marriage - with unintended consequences. Brooding, poetic and provocative, Silent Souls is an exquisite work of post-Soviet cinema by director Aleksei Fedorchenko and renowned cinematographer Mikhail Krichman (EIena). |
