Mother and Son
Aroview: Little-seen outside Europe, dir. Sokurov's dream-like films have been championed by critics (incl. Susan Sontag), and find their best expression in this oblique domestic drama that unfolds in a mysterious landscape distorted by clouded lenses and skewed angles. The dying mother and her son who must carry her wherever they go, bicker, embrace, walk and collapse, their travels captured in unforgettable expressionist images.
