Silent Souls

Following two friends arranging the funeral of the woman they both loved, Fedorchenko’s film is a poetic and deeply moving study of love, loss and the enduring relevance of suppressed custom, evoking the feel of an eerie Russian folk tale.

A beautiful piece of work: heart-wrending, atmospheric and truly poignant. Recommended.
