Una obra maestra SOKUROV
La película de desarrollo más deprimente de la historia y con final más esperanzador
Dijo el pismak - times ....
¿hay algo más deprimente que intentarse suicidar en la laguna estigia, bajo la mirada pasota de Caronte?
“Film The Lonely Voice of Man is the first full-length feature film of Alexander Sokurov, made in 1978 and remastered in 1987 at the studio Lenfilm with the assistance of the Union of Filmmakers.
The story is based on the themes of Andrey Platonov's works River Potudan' and The Origin of a Master. The story of the painful rebirth of young Nikita who bears in his heart all the pain of the civil war, his truly human love for Lyuba, the difficult path of two young, deeply moral and very lonely people to each other… Far from being a screen version in traditional sense of the word, the film restores the spiritual nature of Platonov's prose”.

La película de Sokurov que admiraba Tarkovski, y nunca pudo ver estrenada
"Odinokii golos cheloveka" had been made as a diploma work of All Soviet National Institute of Cinematography(VGIK) but was banned before the Perestroika. They ordered that film must be completely perished, but the director and cameraman hided it under the bed of their dormitory. Now this legendary film is often screened in Tokyo. But perhaps even Andrey Tarkovsky, who said that this film is the work of a genius, would never imagined such a lucky fate for it. "Odinokii golos.." is poetic, beautiful film, but its beauty came from the deepest faith of Russian people. They believed in Artistic Creation as the Service to God. But the author and the screenwriter did so almost subconsciously. The results was this legendary film, which for about 10 years had been secretly screened in apartment room or other hidden places before 1986. I can't imagine other land or time, which could give birth to such an isolated film, with such a simple story and such a naive, trembling sensitivity of youth,coupled with such a mystic expression of religious feelings. This is actually one of these rare cases of cinema history, when young directors reached the maturity of Master by providential force. It must be screened and seen again and again,not only for audience, even for Sokurov himself, so that he would remember what had happened to him when he was 26 to 27.
Mi absoluta joya hardcore de Sokurov

The Lonely Voice of Man (1978-1987); [Odinokij golos cheloveka] – the director’s first feature, made in 1978 but not released until 1987, is the most melancholy (some might say actively depressive) love story since the one in Ermanno Olmi’s Il Posto, and although the film’s narrative loses tension at about the two-thirds mark, this is still an impressive debut – you aren’t likely to guess the year in which it was made unless you’re told beforehand, and it’s highly watchable. It’s also, if you need an interpretation, an allegory about the futility of love between classes – the hero is a poor worker, the girl he marries and abandons is of the educated class.

Queridos amigos de DXC, cuando una película es tan sumamente oscura y deprimente, el final de ella se torna absolutamente fundamental. Y en este caso, es un absoluto desembolso de esperanza. Lo recuerdo con suma ilusión.... Fue increíble, esa alegoría final....
Una visión realista y dura de la humanidad y la existencia, con una brizna final de esperanza....
Solo deciros unas palabras que me llegaron al alma, de un conocido de 92 años que salía de la filmoteca:
Llevo 40 años viendo cine, y nunca he visto nada más deprimente 8O
Solo para mayores de 92 años
La voz solitaria del hombre
