The Wooden Room

1995 · 65 min

A quiet, unsettling experimental film that draws you into a slow, eerie meditation on observation and obsession.

Directed by

Genres
Drama, Comedy
Starring
Tatyana Verkhovskaya, Vladimir Maslov, Igor Bezrukov
Overview
The protagonist of The Wooden Room is a director of documentaries, who lives with his wife - who is as stoic as he - in an isolated hut in the woods. The director is obsessed by filming marginal events in life. The closer he can get to these events with his camera, the more he becomes involved with them. In the end he falls victim to them. The film, with no dialogue and hardly any sound, is an experimental meditation on the complex, continually-changing relationship between a film-maker and his subject.
