WUD Film Presents: Fragment (2024)

Lithuania/Russia | 85 min | NR | BluRay | Dir. Dmitry Krymov

“Utilizing the third act motifs of Anton Chekhov’s “Three Sisters” as a jumping off point, Dmitry Krymov’s “Fragment” focuses in on Olga (Samanta in this production), the eldest of the three sisters. Like many of Chekhov's heroes who attempt to overcome fate, she is doomed to fail, but it is in the attempt itself that she becomes so close and dear to us. Ultimately, we empathize with and love this very recognizable person who can't adequately protect herself, her love, and her home.” (Symphony Space)

“The course of the performance is like a labyrinth – as soon as the viewer settles into the content, environment and rhythm of the stage action, everything changes literally in seconds and a different situation begins in a different environment, in a different rhythm.” – (Vēsma Lēvalde, Latvian theatre critic)
