Sangailes vasara (The Summer of Sangaile) (Alante Kavaite, 2015)

I just watched this for the second time this week. The first time I watched it was in the month following a very painful breakup and when watching a staggering number of movies was the only thing keeping me afloat. I definitely had big and contradictory emotions about this movie since then, in addition to not really remembering it very clearly. But it has stayed with me in a nicely haunting way, and I was happy (and sad) to watch it again. 

Like a lot of eastern European storytelling, this (Lithuanian) film ends up feeling incredibly sad to me. But it’s a sad story, so how else could I feel? Sangaile and Auste have a beautiful time together that offers them both long-lasting enrichment. And one can’t really ask for more than that from any relationship. But their parting at the end bums me out. It IS a story of young love, and those stories are almost always intense, fleeting, and hard to get over. It’s realistic that they had a literal and emotional summer together and were good to each other in a way that will glow as they go forward in their lives. But the longing way that Auste looks at Sangaile in those last scenes is too sad.

This is a good film.

In the name of the Gods that reside within us all and by the life that courses in my blood, I choose you. To possess you, to be possessed by you and to love you with all my heart until the end of time.

Auste and Sangaile’s car scenes always have me feeling some type of way
