Fill the Void (2012)
10/10
Beautifully simple and genuinely moving.
21 November 2016
I discovered this film late Saturday on Netflix during a snowfall here in Edmonton. I've always been fascinated by religions that seem so remote and mysterious to me and yet have persevered through centuries come what may. This film I understand was made by an orthodox woman.Brava! The film feels completely authentic to me. I was absolutely riveted within seconds. The work by ALL concerned was frankly, stunning. I spent a career trying to attain that level of quiet perfection in my own work. These actors, these beautiful actors, managed to convey depths of emotion that ripped my heart out and yet done with such perfect simplicity. What a gift of a story and a gift of a peek behind the curtain of a world I will only ever get a glimpse of. I applaud all the Artists involved in this venture. Well done Ladies and Gentlemen. Well done.
