FUR FUR [KARDO SHIWAN, FINLAND, 2023]

In a dreamlike forest, a man conjures up the memory of his late parents, chasing joyful moments now permanently out of reach, as he copes with his grief. Without leaning into the tragedy, Fur Fur gives a pastel tint to the melancholy of trying to reach a long-gone happiness, while the image remains as sharp as his main character’s pain. The brilliance of Kardo Shiwan’s writing and directing is as beautiful and reassuring as it is heartbreaking.
