Euphoria Series: New Directors/New Films [March 21 - April 1 2007] Director: Ivan Vyrypaev, Country: Russia, Release: 2006, Runtime: 73 A theater director making his feature film debut, Ivan Vyrypaevsets this stunning fable of passion and revenge in a remote region of the Russian steppe and strikes an impudent tone somewhere between Bulgakov and Flannery O’Connor. Pasha is a village goatherd so smitten with Vera that he concludes they must be destined for each other, no matter that she is married and has a small daughter and hostile dog named Pirate. Nothing can dissuade him from pursuing her by land and sea, and their mad romance—she submits as if struck by lightning—culminates in a Western-style finale that is both improbable and metaphorically inevitable. Ivan Vyrypaev is a graduate of the Irkutsk Theater College and an award-winning playwright. Euphoria is his feature film debut. preceded by The Tube with a Hat Radu Jude, Romania, 2006; 23m A boy from a small village wakes his father and drags him and the family’s gigantic and broken television set over hill and dale to the city to get it fixed in time to watch a Bruce Lee movie.
