Bride
The heroines of the film are women from a South Russian family: two young sisters, their mother and grandmother. In the summer, the younger women come to stay with the older ones, but in fact — to fall to the roots.
The world of this house is matriarchal. Men are responsible for the background and everyday, and women are responsible for the primary and sacred: they guess, collect herbs in the meadow, mysteriously wash in the bath. Women of the future, like women of the past, are involved in a cycle of ritual birth events: a wedding, the birth of a child, a funeral. A mother repeats the fate of her mother, and daughters imperceptibly follow the paths of their mother and grandmother. The inertia of these repetitions has such crushing antique power that it cannot be resisted. But you can look into it — gently and fearlessly, which is what the director of the alarmingly beautiful "Bride" is doing.
