‘Wind, Talk to Me’ Review: A Filmmaker Works Through His Grief With Wit, Grace and Imagination
Serbian filmmaker Stefan Djordjevic's marvelous debut 'Wind, Talk to Me' weaves fact, fiction and memory into a heart-bursting ode to his late mother.
An idiosyncratic personal reckoning with the recent death of his mother that gradually expands to take in the perspectives of his kith and kin, the film has the busy, varied emotional intensity of many a family gathering: pained one minute, uproarious the next. A highly original, form-breaking work that pivots between diaristic recording and outright fiction, “Wind, Talk to Me” might seem outwardly challenging to audiences with its gently trickling pace and malleable point of view. Wind is a recurring aural presence in the film, seemingly in dialogue with his fragile mood, while he uncertainly pursues a tactile connection with the earth and the elements, shot with shadow-streaked, end-of-summer verdancy by DP Marko Brdar.
