Film Lens
Petr Michal's documentary follows Anna Karenina, a Czech literary translator, as she reflects on her life after the death of her husband, poet Petr Kabeš. The film captures her feelings of loneliness and the impact of her late husband's absence. Rather than employing traditional interview techniques, Michal allows Karenina to express her thoughts freely while observing her in various settings, including her work and mountaineering trips.
The documentary emphasizes a love for analogue mediums, both in literature and film. It presents a contrast between the tangible qualities of books and the visual aesthetics of analogue film, suggesting a deeper connection to these forms of expression in Karenina's life.
