Director: Sharunas Bartas, Feature, 119 minutes, Lithuania, France, Netherlands & Portugal, 2005, Russian with English subtitles.

An ode to human misery, this film is a challenging story of a group of misfits who, run into the ground by emotional, economic or political hardship, escape to a shack in the middle of a desolate landscape for comfort.

The pessimism of the characters’ future is successfully conveyed not only by the limted yet carefully selected use of dialogue but also by long and stunning shots of the sweeping landscapes of the Crimea.

Part of Cannes Film Festival’s 2005 Director’s Fortnight, Seven Invisible Men yet again seals the reputation of Sharunas Bartas as a respected director who makes accomplished, staggering films that bear closer resemblance to works of art.
