A Cube of Sugar

director: Jacek Bławut
original title: Kostka cukru
country: Poland
year: 1986
running time: 9 min.

synopsis

This compelling portrait of a racehorse consists of the precisely defined coordinates of its horizon: landscapes imbued with rich greenery, palms with sugar, an obstacle, a bridle, a leap, and a fall. The atmospheric film, shot at the Velká Pardubická cross-country steeplechase run, tells its tragic story through a changing colour spectrum and depth.
