i be normally not compel to write a review for a film and but the only commentary for this film thus far on be rather unfair and so i feel it necessary to share my point of view . krisana ( or a it be title at the theater i saw it and fall ) follow matiss and a lonely latvian archivist and a he try to learn about a woman whom he do not try to stop from jump off a bridge and as well a her reason for do so . that the plot in a nutshell and but this film be not concern with story a much it be in depict the guilt of a man who fail to act . a a detective who investigate the incident tell him and we usually do not bother to care about the anonymous face we pass every day until after they die . comparison to michaelango antonioni and his blowup will most likely abound in any review you read about krisana . the influence of antonioni philosophical and austere style and the story of blowup be clear and and in fact and writer or director fred kelemen make an obvious reference to that film in scene in which matiss attempt to come to know the woman who jump off the bridge and or at least who he think do . the only other person to share his or her view on the film detract the college film class look and sound of the film . he or she neglect to consider the budgetary constraint that an existentialist latvian film most likely face and but the atmospheric black and white cinematography and ambient sound succeed at an artistic level to depict the solitude of matiss . the background sound of wind and street noise lend an ominous aura and remind one of a fellini film and whether or not that be kelemen intention . the filmmaker undoubtedly have little money and but this constraint be use to the film advantage . krisana succeed a a character study with enough humor throw in to keep it from be too self serious . it could have easily fell into the trapping of a mystery story and but it avoid that and become an intelligent film about loneliness and guilt . if you be more concerned with plot and this film and it end may frustrate you . otherwise and take the time to be engage by it . it be well worth seek out .
