Krustsolis is a fascinating glimpse into the world of javelin training in Latvia during the early '80s. It centers on Māris Grīva, a committed coach shaping the future of young athletes, notably Dainis Kūla, who would later rise to Olympic fame. The documentary captures the gritty atmosphere of training sessions in Ventspils, offering a raw look at the discipline and dedication required for the sport. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to absorb the intensity and focus of both coach and students. The film's practical effects are minimal, relying instead on real-life moments that truly resonate. It's more about the relationships and the commitment to excellence than flashy production. A unique piece that reflects a specific era and mindset in sports training.
