Riven' chornoho
Black Level
Einsamkeit gedeiht in der großen Stadt. Hier lebt Kostya, der Hochzeitsfotograf. Bei seiner Arbeit ist er umgeben von glücklichen Menschen, die besondere Momente in ihrem Leben feiern. Kostya wird demnächst 50 und verliert alles, was ihm einmal wichtig war. Wird er mit der Verzweiflung fertig werden und wieder Lebensfreude finden? "Ein atemberaubender Film, der auf einzigartige Weise gemacht wurde, mit wunderschönen Bildkompositionen, die beredter sind als alle Dialoge. Der Film spricht kein Wort, aber klingt deutlicher als viele andere." (FIPRESCI Jurybegründung, Odessa International Film Festival)
His 50-year anniversary is the beginning of a complicated phase in the life of wedding photographer Kostya. All that he loved and to which had been tied to, permanently disappears. Although there are not so many such things in his life: father, paralyzed by a stroke; girlfriend, working as a stylist in a wedding magazine; an old cat and photographic slides in which Kostya is young and happy. Kostya is photographing someone else's happiness all of his life. For him, it is a daily routine. (Valentin Vasyanovych, Cineuropa)
