As I understand now, two are in NYC.<BR/>And, yes, Yulka, I enjoyed this movie very-very much. Thank you!!!<BR/>The thing is even from a brief visit to Kiev you can see how beautiful the city is, with Minsk - it is not so obvious. That is why this movie is so special to me - it captured Minsk the way I love it.Elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08916757156071917521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007996896840917369.post-72498714041966508292008-12-04T23:20:00.000-05:002008-12-04T23:20:00.000-05:00I am glad you like it!I love this film too!

In my comments I was going to writ...So, how was it? <BR/><BR/>In my comments I was going to write: “Finally I have something to show when I need to explain why Minsk is so special for me, why do I love this city so much! Its wet street stones after rain, quiet, lit up streets during the late night walks, the parks, the trees,….”, but then I read the concept of the movie. Apparently, the idea was to show Minsk as a lonely, nothing-happens-here, nothing-changes-here type of city. Funny, but I understood “Hush” more like: “hush, city!” – be quiet, a love is being born. ….. Oops! <BR/><BR/>The authors look at Minsk from insider position - they were in Minsk creating this movie. While I would never argue that our city isn’t anywhere near a revolutionary growth, as a positive side of this negative situation, Minsk remains beautiful, peaceful and cozy – and even the authors could not hide that photographing its “hushness”. I’d say this movie is a demonstration of love-hate or love in denial to Minsk. <BR/><BR/>At least one of the authors of Hush City is now in NYC - no better place to break away from quiet, the other one is in Germany. Would be so interesting to see what they’ll think of Minsk in a year. Or am I so wrong and, actually, happen to be one of a few outcasts who love Minsk so much?Elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08916757156071917521noreply@blogger.com
