Sukhodol (2011) Reviews
Excellent modern Russian cinema.
Like many Russian movies from a wonderful new wave impressed by Tarkovsky, "The Dry Valley" is a visual delight. Angles making landscapes come alive, lens focuses bring colors and interest to levels of a Grand Master's painting. The plot summary misses the movie severely. The initial dialogue establishes the whole movie as a look back on youth and coming of age by a woman well on in years. Look at her hands! Some very humorous insights to the human conditions of 19th century Russia are subtly addressed with a young woman and her uncle's observations of the fictions communities will develop to explain and endure their country existences. Respecting the various religious inclinations of many people is handled with grace and humility. The exorcism scene is truthful to the Eastern Orthodox traditions, as are the gentle acceptances of individual uniqueness. It is wonderful to see Yana Esipovich extend her quite capable acting to more extensive investigations, than certainly you saw in "The Island", also a spirituality dominant film. Watch this one several times, as you would a Tarkovsky film. Director and Writer Alexandra Strelyanaya shows impressive depth in her insights and directing.
Stunning Film!
Being a fan of Russian film this one really hit the mark. The beautiful scenery, believable characters, excellent acting and compelling story was outstanding. The lead actress was excellent as the simple village girl. The story line drifts from mystical to seemingly mundane but it captures 19th century Russia just a I would envision it was. I confess that the plot was difficult to follow at times but overall I got it and I plan to watch again to catch the things I missed. It will be a pleasure to view again. Bravo!
