Sergei Loznitsa’s fiction debut, My Joy was the first Ukrainian film ever to compete for the Palme d’Or. Truck driver Georgy gets sucked into what seems to be a nightmare on a bizarre road trip, as ghosts of national history clash with real life in this suspenseful and at times bitingly funny saga. With cinematographer Oleg Mutu, who shot 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, Loznitsa’s award-winning feature is mysterious and consistently moving.
