My Joy
Jan 20 - Jan 26, 2012
(Sergei Loznitsa, 2010, Germany/Ukraine/Netherlands, 35mm, 127 min)
Sergei Lozitsa’s debut feature My Joy premiered in competition for the Palme D’Or at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival. A veteran documentarian, Loznitsa traveled extensively through the Russian provinces and now carries that experience into his latest work, a feature film that profiles several days in the life of truck driver Georgi (Viktor Nemets). Challenging and beautiful, Loznitsa’s discursive narrative unravels absolutely and unforgettably.
"A maddening vision and one of the year's must-see provocations." —Seattle Weekly
“The most unexpected and arresting picture in the main Cannes competition.” —Andrew O'Hehir, Salon
