THE INFORMATION
Homage
Margarita, a doctor, is in love with Grigori, who does not return her feelings. One day, he appears in her surgery and asks him to certify the death of his aged mother. Margarita is filled with fresh hope: perhaps death will change the nature of their relationship? But when Grigori arrives home – death certificate in one hand, floral wreath in the other – he hears his mother’s voice behind the door. Like the volatile male-female relationships, the relationship with an elderly mother is a recurrent theme in Muratova’s films. It appears to be the case that this is a minimum of social information, and a maximum of biological information.
