Il nous faut du bonheur

FilmSNOW bears traces of the style of Alexander Sokurov, whose long, silent shots unite the incongruity of physical and mental reality. This film, which looks at the border villages in Iraq’s autonomous Kurdistan Region, is marked by a similar inner conflict. The Kurds’ history of humiliation and murder has marked entire families, including that of Svetlana, a former citizen of the Soviet Union. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
