Silent Souls 2010

Silent Souls     This film takes place in West-Central Russia.  Aist and Miron are members of an ancient Finno-Ugric tribe from Lake Nero.  The Merja people assimilated into Russian in the 17-century but they continue their myths and traditions in their modern life.  Miron’s wife Tanya passes away and he asks Aist to help him say goodbye according to their traditions.
     This film is very slow paced with wonderful photography and filled with the traditions of this tribe.  Water is very meaningful and to return to the water is immortality.  3* (This movie is OK)

78 min, Drama directed by Aleksey Fedorchenko with Yuliya Aug, Olga Dobrina, Larisa Domaskina, Viktor Gerrat, Olga Gireva, Artem Habibulin.

Note:  Imdb 6.4 out of 10, 98% critic 73% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
