Olexandr Dovzhenko. Zacharovana Desna. (mp3).

Personally for me, "The Enchanted Desna" by Olexander Dovzhenko is still one of my most loved Ukrainian books. I really appreciate and respect this kind of literature – transparent and tender, mild, simple and deep. It is in it, to my mind, that one can come across real, human wisdom. Not sophistication, not emasculated philosophy, not naked intellectual maxims and toys for erudites – the main attribute of wisdom is love. Not to someone or something concrete – love as it is. It is capable to wrap someone and something – entirely, completely. And it is it that one can find in "The Enchanted Desna" – and, probably, in all works by Dovzhenko. Not frequently, by the way, it happens that a written piece and its realization as a film are equally valuable, touching, real. But in this case it is indeed so. I do not know even what is better – to read / listen to it or to watch. The both are good. There are also, however, cruel moments – and "The Earth" and "Mother" are, probably, already perceived not as even twenty years before. But all this is our history. And we have to clean, sift it – with our own love and wisdom. Not condemnation.
