About This Movie

Crossword (2018) is this quiet little documentary that draws you into the world of Igor and his mother, who spend their summer days tucked away in the countryside. The film captures the delicate balance between the peacefulness of their crossword puzzles and the chaotic little nuisances of nature – like those pesky insects and wandering hens. It’s got this slow burn that really lets you soak in the atmosphere, forcing you to reflect on relationships and the simplicity of life, all while the crossword pages turn. Visually, it’s minimalistic, with a focus on everyday scenes, which gives it a raw, almost intimate vibe. The performances are understated, allowing their bond to really shine through, making it distinctive in its heartfelt simplicity.
