He (Kyril Zach) is as professional as can be about selling an apartment
- never letting on that it's actually his own apartment, where he fell in
love, but also where love has gone sour, in a nutshell an apartment that
represents most of his life ... Now I don't know how
"correct" above synopsis actually is, as the film's entirely
dialogue consists of the nonsense word "molkipolki" being
repeated over and over again, with Kyril Zach as the only on-screen actor
mostly pantomiming his actions and his reactions to other people
supposedly presnt in the scene but not on film. So whatever the story one
might see is of course only an interpretation - and that's really what
makes the film rather fascinating, as without giving the viewer a
ready-made backstory, no words and no supporting actors to hand its plot
on, it really sucks one into the picture, to actively fill out the blanks.
This though only works because Kyril Zach as an actor is really good at
doing pantomime, and he also keeps things subtle enough to avoid the film
from going straight out farce, and as a filmmaker and cinematographer he
knows where to set up a camera to keep things visually interesting
(especially since the camera remains static throughout). And all of this
makes molkipolki a pretty fascinating cinematic experience for
sure. ... and if you want to find out more about this movie and
