KATARAKT

A cataract, a clouding of the lens in the eye which leads to a decrease in vision, is one of the conditions affecting the film’s protagonist. But it also stands here as a further-reaching, entropic (the tendency for all matter and energy in the universe to evolve toward a state of inert uniformity) metaphor for our external, diminishing view of children, who rest and live so distantly from our zealously rattling society. It grants us a fleeting glance. A calmly floating observation by the swiftly tarnishing and congealing cinematic eye through the Pavlovsk orphanage for mentally and physically handicapped children.
