The Illumination (1973) -- K. Zanussi
If you looked (back)
at a life from say the end of high school up until age 30 and just tried to
capture the "most important" events -- or at least tried to report
how these were remembered, even if it was just, you know, a single image or a
conversation of 1 or 2 minutes, what would that look like? If you edited these memories together to
create a 90 minute film, would it be a coherent narrative? Would it pack an emotional punch? Would it yield
"illumination"? Stanislaw
Latallo chooses to study physics and subsequently pursues an advanced degree,
suspends, works in a mental hospital (with neurosurgical treatments), has
romances, gets married, has a kid, returns to his degree (amazingly) and so
on. So, this might resonate more if
you've considered science (or further study of any kind). Also, if you are ready to engage with a more
experimental storytelling style, in Polish (by Zanussi).
