The Breath
Production: PL 2015
An ascetic story, one that captivates with beautiful cinematography, of a young man who decides one day to commit suicide in verdant surroundings. The director has created a fascinating, mysterious film, which keeps escaping any poetics- or genre-related classification. Is this a documentary, a feature, or an experimental film? Or maybe it is made up of parts from all these categories? The film was directed by Maciej Jarczyński, a young and talented director from Chojnice, whose earlier, short documentary film “85625” (2014) was presented in Cannes and in Los Angeles.
