It Would Be Splendid, Yet…

About This Movie

So, you’ve got 'It Would Be Splendid, Yet…' from 2009, a film that really captures the post-Soviet ethos of Lithuania. Danguole, our factory worker, is such a relatable character, and her excitement over the American photographer's visit adds this layer of tension and hope. The pacing is quite deliberate, almost contemplative, which suits the themes of independence and identity beautifully. The performances are intimate, drawing you into the family dynamics and societal changes. It’s not flashy, but there's a raw authenticity here, and the practical effects ground the story in a real place and time. You can almost feel the weight of history in every scene.

This film has a unique place in niche markets, often eluding mainstream attention which adds to its collector allure. While not widely available in various formats, those who manage to find it on DVD or obscure digital releases consider it a worthwhile discovery. The scarcity of information about the director and the film itself enhances its mystique, drawing in collectors who appreciate lesser-known international cinema.
