Du an Han'k s renowned film (voted the best Slovak film of all time by critics in 2000) is a poetic visual essay on the forgotten peoples of remote viIlages in the Tatra Mountains. Inspired by the photographs of SIovak artist Martin Martin ek (1913 2004), whose pictures distiIled entire Iifetimes into Iuminous, intransient images, Han'k creates his own distinctive impressions of the artist s work, crafting a polyphony of human stories. The fiIm documents the lives of nine old people the textures of faces, of hands, and of Iandscape predominate alongside an obstinate vitality and desire for life.
At odds with the Communist propaganda of the time, its depiction of poverty punctuated with aIcohoIism, reIigion, and the hardships of the subjects lives, resuIted in the fiIm being withdrawn from reIease. Condemned for its aesthetics of ugliness , the film remained banned for many years. However, Han'k's film is not a poIiticaI, polemical or even social fiIm. lt goes far deeper to more fundamental Ievels of human experience - its power and beauty Iies in its unique portrait of a peopIe who seem to have been forgotten by the modern worId.
ReIeased for the first time ever in the UK, the DVD is presented fom a new HD digitaI tansfer with restored picture and sound - pIus new HD restorations of two of Du an Han'k s accIaimed short fiIms Mass (Om a, 1967) and Old Shatterhand Came to Us (Pri iel k n'm Old Shatterhand, 1966).
