You created space, but you forgot to fill it with people and light. A few years ago, I wondered why everything is beautiful, really beautiful, often heavy and oppressive, or at least very sad. One day she even asked a cameraman (who worked on a very beautiful sad and depressing film) if he had ever made a beautiful but good movie, and he answered about some documentary about dogs, which “also turned out to be gloomy.” I kept thinking of the movie as bright, magical, but not fairy-tale or childish, not fun, not knocking out an emotion from me, but purifying the soul, deep, slow, calm and thoughtful ... which would not be about love, not about adventure, but just ... about the course of life, about a person, about beauty itself. And around that time, I remembered that Green had a new movie, Wisdom, for a while. Looking at it, I thought this was one of those movies.
Very subtle, neat and polite film. Everything in it is permeated with observation, understanding and respect. Wisdom is manifested in everything: in the heroes of the past, architecture, nature, very young people and elderly people, in conversation, silence, darkness, light and everything that fills the space between this and that. I love almost all of Green’s works – they are like different performances of one theater troupe in one theater, where everything is familiar and loved. But this one still stands out something special. It really feels like wisdom.
