A Casa is perhaps the most visually stunning film I've ever encountered. Time stands still in this mansion. Yet present is too fleeting: one can't be sure if it really exists. There is something deeper at work here. The shadows of USSR still lingering in those soulful faces who in habit the place. They speak thousand words w/ their stares. And no one captures Eastern European melancholy like Bartas. The film climaxes with the Christmas Supper scene & fireworks. #lithuaniancinema #SharunasBartas
