Sunday, December 4, 2005, 6:30 p.m.

Pavel and Lyalya (Jerusalem Romance)
by Viktor Kossakovsky, Russia. Massachusetts premiere

A beautiful ode to an ageing couple whose only fortune is love. In a final scene Lyalya confesses that 'The world is so beautiful, God does exist on Earth.' And the film, like a pieta, becomes both a pain-filled prayer and a radiant song of praise. — Bertrand Bacqué, Visions du réel, Nyon, 2001. True masterpiece this film received numerous international film festivals awards worldwide.
