Read about this film in Cyn Collins’s Daily Planet review, “21 films in 11 days.”

Director: VERA STOROZHEVA

Director Vera Storozheva presents a beautifully shot portrait of a woman discovering her potential after too long on the sidelines.

Somewhere, at a remote train station in faraway Russia, pretty young Natalia is miserably married to a brutish, much older man who regards her as a domestic servant. When her husband unceremoniously drops dead, Natalia (Ksenia Kutepova) ﬁnds herself free for the ﬁrst time in her life. Awakening to her own appeal, she strikes up a dalliance with a local lad, a cheeky truck driver (Dmitri Dyuzhev) but can’t help but wonder if there’s even more to discover beyond the conﬁnes of her country house with only a goat and a dog passing for society… The director: “I was attracted by the motif of a woman waking up sensually. The main character is travel- ing from non-existence, from her inadequate understanding of the world and a semi-dumb state towards blossoming and becoming a human. It’s rather an inner process, but the time has come when she starts analyzing who and what she is and what she needs in this life.” A Best Picture winner at the 2007 Moscow International Film Festival.

RUSSIA • 2007 • 97 MINUTES • DIRECTOR: VERA STOROZHEVA

absolutely beautiful!!!

This film was beautifully shot. In my opinion, it could have been edited a bit.

Funny, touching, quiet… just great.

...by far of the thirty or so I’ve seen as of yet. This quiet story of a woman finding herself through the sensual world is aptly told through the gentle cinematography and compassionate dialog. I look forward to more films by this director.

THEATER | "White Sheep of the Family," a sharp farce at Theatre in the Round

By Dwight Hobbes , TC Daily Planet

You’re not going to find a stronger theater company in the Twin Cities than the Theatre in the Round Players, and they’ve done it again, mounting yet anotther first-rate production. The White Sheep of the Family, by L. du Garde Peach and Ian Hay, is a splendidly written, sharply directed, beautifully acted farce you’re going to rush home and tell family, friends—pretty much anyone who’ll listen—all about.
