The translation of the film is provided in your audio headphones* in Latvian, Russian. Cannes Film Festival “Golden Palm Branch” and three nominations for the Oscar. "Short Meetings" is one of the most outstanding and deepest cinema novels - the best melodrama in the history of cinema for impossible love. It is a great movie about the divorce that has become the symbol of the 20th century and the obsession - "British Casablanca" for the impossible choice between love and duty.
The ingenious David Lin, using cinema language and Rachmaninov's airy music, lifts the film at a new epic sensuality level - he has been able to show the birth of love so that it can be felt almost physically. "It's so easy to lie when you believe it so blindly and… so humiliating." Who figured out the marriage was making in the sky? Probably a grandmother or a confident bachelor. Prudent British ladies make their family life based on mutual respect and affection. This is exactly what Lora Jessone thought when he married a balanced and reputable bank employee. Love? Nonsense - this is meant for frivolous and irresponsible persons. It seemed that nothing would be able to disrupt the usual life order for a woman who was happy to some extent in marriage and protected from the outside world with her prudence and restraint. Every Thursday she goes to the city: shopping in a grocery store, exchanging books in the library, eating lunch and visiting cinema. Nothing particularly exciting, but it brings diversity to everyday life. On a regular trip, Lora didn't even realize that fate had prepared an unexpected test for her.
Accidental appointment at the station… insignificant and no continued dating.
A man who remembers much longer than a married woman could afford it. And yet, every Thursday, she is waiting for this meeting with three and unusual anxiety. Another meeting - in the cafe, then in the cinema, and soon they are overwhelmed by so strong feelings that they are no longer able to overcome them.
The border is barely felt separating love from falling in love, but sometimes it is enough to have an accidental look, an unexpected gesture or a warm word to feel what seemed to be lost forever due to age and family status. The start of a relationship between two people who are not free - an attempt to regain the taste and taste of life. This makes it possible that previously seemed unacceptable. And what is called love is twisted in Rachmaninov's music, in full -mindedness, touching the shoulder, in a tense silence - will disappear forever with the smoke of the departing train.
Nothing lasts forever - no happiness or despair. Life itself is short, just like this short meeting. The film is in a very British spirit after its mood - with an old -fashioned restraint, a sense of style in perfect manners, captivating charm and paralyzing fear of the situation seemingly vulgarism.
Time stopped while preserving quotes, sighs and kisses, rain whispering and train thunder, Nara's mystical haze surrounding the station, and stunning ends ...
