The Lament
Agit
Subdued fiction about loss and mourning. A little boy, his mother and his grandparents try to carry on after the death of the still-young man of the house. This atmospheric, dialogue-free film explores the relationship between humans and nature. Emulates Semih Kaplanoglu, maker of the much-lauded Honey, Milk and Egg trilogy, who is thanked in the credits; equally measured tempo, sound and camera work.
