One Moment

2002 · 10 min

A hushed, wordless reverie of slowed faces that drifts past like memory, leaving a gentle ache about how quickly a life passes.

Directed by
Jiří Menzel
Starring
Rudolf Hrušínský
Overview
Poetic, affectionate, lyrical, and elegy for actor Rudolf Hrusinsky composed of a wordless montage of slowed film footage spanning Hrusinsky’s entire career that embodies the human experience: toil, rest, education, romantic love, rejection, desire, aging, frailty. A recurring interstitial black screen with the words “ten minutes” becomes a constant reinforcement of transience, a career and life distilled to the precious few minutes of the film, a reflection of its brevity.
