International premiere
Mr. Landsbergis
Only such a distinguished master like Loznitsa could persuade international crowds to rewatch our precious historical moments and learn the truth about the tough path to the dreamed independence of the Baltic countries. For the first time Mr. Loznitsa appears as the interviewer in conversation with Professor Vytautas Landsbergis about crucial events from 1987 till 1993. Perhaps in the most comprehensive confession the Godfather of the restored Lithuanian independence shares his bright memories, detailed explanations, even current evaluations about what really happened during the blockade in negotiations with Mr. Gorbachev and his bloody villains in tanks.
Staggering, tearful, timely chronicles with observations by “Mr. Landsbergis” are especially important to watch for the younger generation, who do not remember how we broke free from the chains of the Soviet Union and how much this victory did cost.
