Romance/Drama, Lithuanian, 1 hour-48 minutes
Directed by Marija Kavtaradze
Marija Kavtaradze‘s second feature film tells the story of two people falling in love in their own way. In Slow, dancer Elena meets sign language interpreter Dovydas and these two very different individuals instantly connect in an unspoken manner. The invisible sparks pull these two opposites towards each other. When things start to get more physical, Dovdas mentions he’s asexual. They are both eager to make the relationship work, going up against stereotypes and what it actually means to be in love.
“A supremely confident piece of filmmaking that negotiates the tricky terrain of non-typical sexualities with sensitivity, humour and a refreshing lightness of touch.” — Screen International
“Slow announces Kavtaradze as a director with keen insight into human psychology and a true knack for working with actors.” — RogerEbert.com
