A boy in a village.
Sinekatalog’s take
Kira Muratova's early film follows a boy in a village in a gentle, visual story, shot with an eye for textures and faces. Quiet and poetic, it hints at the strange, unique sensibility of her later work.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
