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 long journey to dispose of her remains
according to the rituals of the Merya people-an ancient tribe from picturesque
West-Central Russia. As the two friends traverse the evocatively bleak
landscape 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 (Elena).
