Snapshots

Directed by Peter Krištúfek

A documentary film about Dežo Ursiny, one of the greatest personalities in Slovak music. The film features people on whom he left a deep mark during his lifetime – his long-time collaborator, poet Ivan Štrpka, colleagues Marián Varga and Andrej Šeban, as well as producers, friends, and sons. Through short "snapshots," as one of Ursiny's albums was titled, Krištúfek composes a portrait of this remarkable artist from his bohemian youth to his ascetic period of inner reconciliation before his untimely death.
