Selected Highlights
Windless
Description
Windless is showing at the Queen's Film Theatre as part of Belfast Film Festival.
Tattooed, brooding Bulgarian rap superstar Fyre (here going by his real name Ognyan Pavlov) turns in a remarkably powerful, and paradoxically taciturn, performance as a son returning to his hometown following the death of his estranged father — a man who, to his friends and neighbors at least, was something of a local legend.
In exquisitely composed, richly evocative images that are haunted by the secrets of the character's troubled history, Pavel G. Vesnakov's second narrative feature after German Lessons practically smolders with the resentments and misunderstandings that can drive a father and son apart, except for when, occasionally, all that mood burns away to reveal grace and vulnerability underneath. Just ask the lonely, hurting but hopeful little boy that lurks within many a tough-guy exterior: You might think you're done with the past — but buddy, the past ain't done with you.
