The 3 Rooms of Melancholia

Director: Pirjo Honkasalo

Finland| 2004| 106 Mins| color & b/w


Hauntingly poetic, visionary, and quietly devastating, Pirjo Honkasalo’s portrait of children in war was made through various methods of subterfuge (foreigners having been forbidden by Russian authorities from entering Chechnya). This extraordinary award-winning film portrays emotionally ravaged children in their devasted and scorched homeland, haunting live-stories inherited from an adult-born hatred. Director Pirjo Honkasalo who will be in attendance.
