Title: Mat i Syn
Release Date: 1997
Director: Aleksandr Sokurov
Words will do no justice. Vibrant oil paintings of life, distant and fleeting, momentary glimpses of aesthetic exhileration. The brief climatic sequences of death; a humble, caring son torn and distraught in grief over the inevitable death of his mother. A dreary, melancholic adventure, almost dream-like, unreal in moments and completely humanistic in others. Essential.
