Synti - dokumentti jokapäiväisistä rikoksista
Sin - a documentar on daily offences
In this early documentary based on the seven deadly sins, Helke and
Suutari shift ordinary people in ordinary places literally into the centre: captured in tableaux vivants, alone or in groups,
the people stare into the camera and make their „confessions“. A collection of admissions of everyday transgressions, which
are far more tormenting than the seven deadly sins could ever be. Text panels against the background of the forces of nature
(water, storms, ...) structure the confessions and distressing experiences. What becomes tangible under the rigid stylistic
corset is that which will also subsequently mark the work of these two filmmakers: transience and memory as painful human
experience. (mp)
