Black Level

Dir. Valentyn Vasyanovych. Ukraine. 2017, 91 mins. No dialogue. With Konstantin Mohnach, Kateryna Molchanova. On the cusp of his fiftieth birthday, Kostya, a wedding photographer who earns his living capturing others’ happiest moments, finds his life has fallen apart. His former lover is marrying someone else. His father has been paralyzed by a stroke. His old cat is dying. Shot by Vasyanovych himself, this wordless film is an exquisitely composed, slow-burn depiction of a man on the edge of despair.
