5.0 1995
Translations from the East

The whole film has three, (but in reality, two main) characters. Most of the action takes place in a country house, home to the pair. She - a Japanese translator, he - a man without a definite occupation, lover of the texts of Nietzsche (which he reads fluently in its original language) and St. Augustine (who is quoted in Latin). They are Moscow intelligentsia who have emigrating to their own cultural space. A couple so different that it is difficult to understand what keeps them together. It seems they live together, not because of, but rather in spite of everything that is happening (or rather, not happening) between them.

The First Cold

An attempt to express the relationship between space and the ability to reflect it. The result of these relations can be considered the non-representational nature of space, as a tangible form, and the tendency of space to have consciousness. We are talking about "inward-directed" vision and "outward-directed" vision. Hence the abandonment of normal voice acting in favor of the aesthetics of silent cinema; on the audio track you will only hear the recorded crackle of a film projector and the quiet off-screen conversations of some people. The film is based on Andrei Platonov's story "The Potudan River", the film adaptation of which for Edward Shelganov, as well as for Alexander Sokurov, became a debut in cinema.
