Cinematheque: Baltic Film Series

Acclaimed Lithuanian director Gytis Lukšas tells the story of his own generation -- those who lived through the entire Soviet period -- in this severe but touching black-and-white film. A deliberately paced and solemnly tender adaptation of Romualdas Granauskas's 2003 novel (but with a different ending), Vortex was Lithuania’s nomination for the Best Foreign Language Oscar. In Lithuanian and Russian with English subtitles.
