Nový život
Content:
Director Adam Oľha's father, at the time rector of the Academy of Arts in Banská Bystrica, decided to move in with a new partner after leaving his wife, the popular Slovak actress Jana Oľhová, and their six children. Prior to this he had given his son a camera, along with the responsibility of acting as family chronicler. While the film is essentially a personal testimony, the director succeeds in conveying a more universal message as part of his intriguing revelations about both the problems and strengths of community spirit within the family. Moreover, through his intuitive treatment of the film score, objects and memories otherwise associated with specific individuals and their private experiences acquire more general values; in the same way, the photographs reveal more about their subjects than an initial glance would suggest. Despite its pronounced melancholy, the film is in no way maudlin and is able to find common ground even in the scenes where family members play to the home video camera. [www.kviff.com]
