MY JOY

A hyper-realistic, darkly grotesque, and fabulously effusive road movie about the truck driver Georgy. Loznitsa deftly plays with the temporal planes, juggling neuralgic points of history, particularly the war and the haunting consequences of failure to deal with the experience. The post-Soviet Empire as a grisly adult fairytale in which angels of death lure unsuspecting victims into cursed woods, and history – in the form of nameless old people who never conclude their anecdotes – walks along the side of the country roads and commercial routes.
