Cilvēks ar kaitīgiem ieradumiem

About This Movie

Cilvēks ar kaitīgiem ieradumiem is more of a stark reflection than a typical documentary. It dives into the life of Olafs Pakalnietis, a construction supervisor navigating the murky waters of alcoholism. The pacing feels almost confessional, with Olafs's candid monologues laying bare the personal and social ramifications of his drinking. The atmosphere? Gritty and raw, capturing the essence of life in a Riga communal apartment. There’s a haunting honesty in his experiences, as he recounts the tension with neighbors, the isolation, and the struggle for control. It's not flashy, and that’s what makes it distinctive. It’s a tough watch, but you can’t help but feel the weight of his words, echoing long after the credits roll.
