International Lens Film: Silent Souls

Presented by: Jason Strudler, Lecturer, Department of German and Slavic Languages.

Russia (2010) Dir: Aleksey Fedorchenko. This mystical masterpiece about a lonely man who helps a widower perform last rites for his wife is a haunting and beautiful road-trip. A meditation on death and sex, it's a melancholy and touchingly profound folk tale. Russian with English subtitles. 35mm. 78 mins. Partially funded by the Department of German and Slavic Languages and the Russian, Eastern European, and Central Asian Club (REECA).
