Witt, I think you misunderstood the point I was making (although Im stoked that you enjoyed it too). When I say the emptiness of the world, I mean the cold hard naked truth--that life is often cruel and harsh and full of despair, not that such a desolute place doesn't contain depth, richness or beauty. I think the boys growing up without a father and trying to make sense of his death (and their possible role in it) is horribly disturbing subject matter, and far from life affirming. And yet the artwork itself, the amazing use of audio, and the
photography-let alone the gorgeous natural Russian countrside--are what taps into the "richness" that you're referring to.I think we're more in agreement than you claim. I just didn't quite articulate myself clearly enough.
